Beyond JUnit: Powertools for Test-Driven Development
Writing tests is more than just writing JUnit test cases and hoping that they'll pass when your project is built. If you want assurance that your code is sound and provides the desired functionality, then you'll want to test it from every angle and run those tests as frequently as possible.
In this session, we'll look at a few testing tools that you may not be all that familiar with, including:
- Infinitest : A continuous testing tool that reports test failures almost as quickly as you can break them.
- Mockito : A relatively new tool for mocking objects in tests.
- Concordion : A framework for writing FIT-like functional specifications, without the hassles of FIT.
- jqUnit and JSTester : A xUnit-like framework for testing JavaScript.
- Selenium : A framework for in-container testing of web applications.
If you're ready to elevate your testing prowess to the next level, come see how these tools can help.
