Normally, testing is just about finding bugs—“defect removal”—which is worth doing. But testing can also be about increasing quality in the eyes of the only people whose opinion matters: Your users.
Testers have access to tools that can build automated test suites by recording user flows effortlessly. Are these tools worth it over coding automated tests? Read more to learn the pros and cons of each approach.
Mocking isn’t just about isolating the code under test—it’s also about creating faster and simpler tests. But, if you don’t do it right, mocking can also just generate more code for you to manage and maintain. Best practices with mocking tools ensure that all your mocks add value to your testing without adding cost.
Developers are already isolating their code, even when they aren’t running unit tests, because it lets them do more in less time. Embracing isolation when testing has those benefits and more: better code, faster development and more reliable releases.
