Testing Challenge
Testing involves the comparison of the actual output or features of a program with the expected output or features. Some programs that contain bugs will run successfully until you attempt to execute the part containing bugs. Although developers can test codes manually, the process can be very tiring, especially when the program being tested has several features.
Fortunately, developers can avoid the stress of testing programs manually by writing a different program to test other programs on their behalf. Some developers aren’t good at writing testing programs, which is why a testing challenge is sometimes necessary to assess the developer’s ability to write testing programs.
Types of Testing
There are various types of testing and they are as follows:
1. Unit testing
This type of testing checks whether the smallest parts of a program have no bugs and run as expected. The testing process starts by isolating each of the units to be tested and ends by testing each part independently.
Unit testing can help developers identify bugs even before a program becomes too complex to debug. Even if bugs get into a program after it becomes complex, developers will have clues of areas where the bugs might be if they had earlier tested some units of the program.
2. Integration testing
This type of testing checks whether modules or components of a program are working as expected after they have been integrated. Integration testing can still detect whether two or more modules are combined properly even if one of the modules isn’t complete yet. Integrating testing is particularly important when the modules being combined are programmed by different developers.
Integration testing requires more time and effort compared to unit testing because it requires some complicated setups. For instance, it requires environment setup and dependencies initialization.
3. Functional testing
Functional testing checks whether every feature of a program works as expected. This type of testing doesn’t check the processing mechanism. Rather, it only checks if the result is as expected.
