What for?
- Do not repeat the same test over and over again
- Be save again regression errors
- Have confidence while refactoring
I don't want to duplicate information, I recommend reading this excellent post of Martin Fowler Test Pyramid.
As simple as this:
- Write a test
-
You better start with the name of the test in the following format when possible:
[Name of the method]_[what it is supposed to do]_[under what conditions]Nice name examples can be found in the sum_of_numbers folder
-
Write the three parts of the test:
Test settings, test execution, assertion
-
- Run the test and see it fail
- Write the minimum amount of code to pass the test
- Repeat the cycle
- Use another set of parameters to be passed to the method
- Think of different values the parameters could have
