As discussed in What are We Testing Again? from the Test Smells, making the test code explain its test case and test data is a vital responsibility. When writing test code, the best advice is focus on creating understanding, rather than focus on DRY code. This is largely because refactoring tests, requiring us to hide things behind methods or named ...

OfficeFloor is now available to develop within IntelliJ. While the plugin was originally developed for Eclipse, we have now isolated the functionality into IDE agnostic bundle.   This means with a bridging implementation, it is possible to port the OfficeFloor plugin to other IDEs. However, for now we are content with Eclipse and IntelliJ for OfficeFloor development. Though if you would ...

Based on our experience, we believe Round robin may not be an effective load balancing algorithm, because it doesn’t equally distribute traffic among all nodes. You might wonder how this is possible? Yes, it is possible How Round robin algorithm works? Round robin algorithm sends requests among nodes in the order that requests are received. Here is a simple example. ...

Let’s look at another test smell. Consider the following tests: @Test public void connectionWorks() { database = openDatabase(); database.healthCheck(); database.close(); } @Test public void countRows() { database = openDatabase(); assertThat(database.countAll()) .isEqualTo(0); database.close(); } In the above code we’ve written two tests for some fictional database. It looks like both those tests start and end with the same code. On top ...

I want to look at a general case of noise in code. To do so, let’s look at how to instantiate a list in Java: 1 2 3 4 5 List<String> someList = new ArrayList<>(); someList.add("Snow White"); someList.add("Red Riding Hood"); someList.add("Evil Queen"); someList.add("Finbar Saunders"); It would be hard to argue that there’s an innate bug or flaw in the above… ...

Sometimes, what you need is a parameterized test. They do the job of representing a single way of testing with an input table full of use cases and expected outcomes. In some ways, a test suite is just a set of inputs and expected outputs, but a parameterized test is one where the execution of the test is pretty uniform. ...

Studies have indicated that after installing a new app, only a quarter of the users return to the app on the second day. The retention rate is eminently low and the majority of the users uninstall the app after the first use. You might have guessed the reason for this. If you think the reason is scanty testing then you ...
