What does the acronym
FIRST mean with regards to software testing? In case you forgot, go back
to chapter 8 in Saas.
FIRST stands for fast, independent, repeatable, self-checking, and
timely. Good software tests should be quick and easy, not depend on other conditions,
not depend on external factors, check itself, and created or updated when code
is tested.
In software testing, there are a few types of software tests
like unit, integration/functional, performance, and behavior. According to https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/JUnit/article.html,
unit tests test a small amount of code like a method or class. It’s dependence
on other classes is removed by using mock objects. Integration tests are used to
tests the whole system like when a user uses it. Performance tests make sure the
tests are fast when used repeatedly. Behavior tests check if methods are called
with the correct input using mocks and stubs.
