To improve the usability of text fields and to determine which text field variables to alter, our researchers and designers conducted two studies between November 2016 and February 2017, with actual users.

let(:warden) do instance_double('Warden::Proxy').tap do |warden| allow(warden).to receive(:authenticate!).with(scope: :user) .and_return(authenticated?) allow(warden).to receive(:user).with(:user).and_return(user) end end let(:user) { instance_double(User) } let(:authenticated?) { true } def simulate_running_with_devise stub_const( 'Rack::MockRequest::DEFAULT_ENV', Rack::MockRequest::DEFAULT_ENV.merge('warden' => warden), ) end

There is no request.env in functional tests because the functional tests are supposed to remain at the controller level.

There is obvious connections between the flow paths of a use case and its test cases. Deriving functional test cases from a use case through its scenarios (running instances of a use case) is straightforward.

Why separate out red tests from green tests? Because my green tests serve a fundamentally different purpose. They are there to act as a living specification, validating that the behaviors work as expected. Regardless of whether they are implemented in a unit testing framework or an acceptance testing framework, they are in essence acceptance tests because they’re based upon validating behaviors or acceptance criteria rather than implementation details.

Conversely, red tests are tests I write after the code is written to lock down some implementation.

Have you ever played the game 20 questions? Most of us have played that game at one point in our lives. One person thinks of something that could be an animal, vegetable, or mineral and then they answer yes/no questions that are asked of them. The point of the game is to ask as few questions as possible in order to accurately guess what the person is thinking.  This is how I think of the unit tests that I write the specified behavior as I’m doing test-first development. I ask what are the fewest tests that I need to write in order to assert the behavior I want to create.

So the question becomes how many tests are enough?

I am a big advocate of having a complete test base and even erring on the side of caution when it comes to quality engineering and software validation but that is not what we’re talking about here. What we’re talking about here are the tests that we write when we’re doing test-first development and I’m proposing that writing those tests from the perspective of specifying the behaviors that we want to create is a highly valuable way of writing tests because it drives us to think at the right level of abstraction for creating behavioral tests and that allow us the freedom to refactor our code without breaking it.

The number one problem that I see developers have when practicing test-first development that impedes them from refactoring their code is that they over-specify behavior in their tests. This leads developers to write more tests than are needed, which can become a burden when refactoring code.

Sometimes a change impact analysis is performed to determine an appropriate subset of tests

non-regression testing

Regression testing (rarely non-regression testing[1]) is re-running functional and non-functional tests to ensure that previously developed and tested software still performs after a change.[2] If not, that would be called a regression.

Write modules quickly, to meet your needs, with just a few tests for compliance. Avoid extensive specifications.

not all answers pass this tests

In production, you will never trigger one specific callback or a particular validation, only. Your application will run all code required to create a Song object, for instance. In Trailblazer, this means running the Song::Create operation, and testing that very operation with all its side-effects.

There’s no need to test controllers, models, service objects, etc. in isolation

Run the complete unit with a certain input set, and test the side-effects. This differs to the Rails Way™ testing style, where smaller units of code, such as a specific validation or a callback, are tested in complete isolation. While that might look tempting and clean, it will create a test environment that is not identical to what happens in production.

Integration tests for controllers: These Smoke tests only test the wiring between controller, operation and presentation layer.

Unit tests for operations: They test all edge cases in a nice, fast unit test environment without any HTTP involved.

This helper allows you to mock any step within a given or deeply nested activities.

To skip processing inside :load_user and use a mock instead, use mock_step.

TRAILBLAZER-TEST The official stable release is only weeks away bringing you a bunch of new assertions that drastically reduce coding effort for tests! Of course, Minitest and RSpec will both be supported. TRAILBLAZER-STORY will follow as it turned out to be inevitable for setting up application state for tests. Instead of fumbling around with factories and traits in your tests, you “tell a story” about what to create in which order, easily customizable, and all written using activities. Currently, I’m working on designing the interfaces and it’s real fun!

// Arrange const [refDiv, contentDiv] = getElements(); const [refAction, contentAction, getInstance] = createPopperActions({ placement: 'right-start', }); mountWithAction(refDiv, refAction); // Act mountWithAction(contentDiv, contentAction); // Assert expect(getInstance()).not.toBeNull();

Personally, I think you are perhaps blowing up a fairly medium-sized (and fixable) bug discovered during routine testing into extreme-case hyperbole. Again, engagement and participation will get the bug fixed faster. The entire point of testing is to discover and fix precisely these kinds of pain points before release.

In a webinar hosted by MIT Sloan School of Management professor Andrew Lo on April 1, Bancel said that Moderna is already manufacturing mRNA for vaccines in its potential Phase II study, which could begin enrolling hundreds of people this spring, as well as its potential Phase III study, which could enroll thousands of people as early as late summer or early fall. In a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing the week before, Bancel also indicated that Moderna may request special permission to give people like doctors and nurses access to its vaccine this fall, before a formal approval. It’s an audacious plan for a company—and technology—that has yet to put a drug on the market.

How to test To run the provided example:

Library author here. I'm always fascinated by new ways people can invalidate my assumptions. I mean that in a sincerely positive way, as it results in learning.

You want to write maintainable tests that give you high confidence that your components are working for your users. As a part of this goal, you want your tests to avoid including implementation details so refactors of your components (changes to implementation but not functionality) don't break your tests and slow you and your team down.

we are using RTL's findBy search variant to wait for element(s) which appear eventually.

For any element that isn't there yet but will be there eventually, use findBy over getBy or queryBy. If you assert for a missing element, use queryBy. Otherwise default to getBy

The neat thing about getByRole: it shows all the selectable roles if you provide a role that isn't available in the rendered component's HTML:

// recommended

Whereas the describe-block is the test suite, the test-block (which also can be named it instead of test) is the test case. A test suite can have multiple test cases and a test case doesn't have to be in a test suite. What you put into the test cases are called assertions (e.g. expect in Jest) which either turn out to be successful (green) or erroneous (red). Here we have two assertions which should turn out successful:

Templates are prone to unnoticed runtime errors, are hard to test, and are not easy to restructure or decompose.

In contrast, Javascript-made templates can be organised into components with nicely decomposed and DRY code that is more reusable and testable.
