Testing Types

测试类型

Unit Testing

单元测试

  • Test individual functions/methods
  • Mocking dependencies
  • Fast execution
  • Examples: Jest, Pytest, Mocha
  • 测试独立函数/方法
  • 模拟依赖项
  • 执行速度快
  • 示例:Jest、Pytest、Mocha

Integration Testing

集成测试

  • Test component interactions
  • With real databases/services
  • Slower than unit tests
  • Examples: Postman, Supertest
  • 测试组件间交互
  • 使用真实数据库/服务
  • 比单元测试慢
  • 示例:Postman、Supertest

End-to-End Testing

端到端(E2E)测试

  • Complete user workflows
  • Browser automation
  • Slowest but most realistic
  • Examples: Cypress, Selenium, Playwright
  • 完整用户工作流
  • 浏览器自动化
  • 速度最慢但最贴近真实场景
  • 示例:Cypress、Selenium、Playwright

Property-Based Testing

基于属性的测试

  • Generate random inputs
  • Verify invariants hold
  • Find edge cases
  • Examples: Hypothesis, QuickCheck
  • 生成随机输入
  • 验证不变量是否成立
  • 发现边界情况
  • 示例:Hypothesis、QuickCheck

Contract Testing

契约测试

  • Verify API contracts between services
  • Consumer and provider sides
  • Microservices testing
  • Examples: Pact, Spring Cloud Contract
  • 验证服务间的API契约
  • 包含消费者与提供者两端
  • 微服务测试
  • 示例:Pact、Spring Cloud Contract

Chaos Engineering

混沌工程

  • Inject failures intentionally
  • Test system resilience
  • Find weak points
  • Tools: Chaos Toolkit, Gremlin
  • 主动注入故障
  • 测试系统韧性
  • 发现薄弱点
  • 工具:Chaos Toolkit、Gremlin

Best Practices

最佳实践

  1. Test Behavior, Not Implementation - Focus on what, not how
  2. Keep Tests Fast - Run frequently
  3. Isolate Dependencies - Mock external systems
  4. Clear Test Names - Describe what's being tested
  5. DRY Tests - Eliminate duplication
  6. Test Edge Cases - Boundaries, nulls, errors
  7. Use Test Fixtures - Consistent setup
  8. Automate Testing - CI/CD integration
  1. 测试行为而非实现 - 关注「做什么」,而非「怎么做」
  2. 保持测试快速 - 频繁运行
  3. 隔离依赖项 - 模拟外部系统
  4. 清晰的测试命名 - 描述测试内容
  5. 测试代码遵循DRY原则 - 消除重复
  6. 测试边界情况 - 边界值、空值、错误场景
  7. 使用测试夹具(Test Fixtures) - 一致的前置设置
  8. 自动化测试 - 与CI/CD集成

Test Naming Convention

测试命名规范

test_[function]_[scenario]_[expected_outcome]

Example:
test_calculateDiscount_withValidCode_returnsDiscountedPrice
test_loginUser_withInvalidPassword_throwsAuthenticationError
test_[function]_[scenario]_[expected_outcome]

Example:
test_calculateDiscount_withValidCode_returnsDiscountedPrice
test_loginUser_withInvalidPassword_throwsAuthenticationError

Example Test Patterns

测试模式示例

AAA Pattern (Arrange-Act-Assert)

AAA模式(准备-执行-断言)

javascript
test('calculateTotal with items', () => {
  // Arrange
  const cart = new Cart();
  cart.addItem({ price: 10 }, 2);
  
  // Act
  const total = cart.getTotal();
  
  // Assert
  expect(total).toBe(20);
});
javascript
test('calculateTotal with items', () => {
  // 准备(Arrange)
  const cart = new Cart();
  cart.addItem({ price: 10 }, 2);
  
  // 执行(Act)
  const total = cart.getTotal();
  
  // 断言(Assert)
  expect(total).toBe(20);
});

BDD (Behavior-Driven Development)

BDD(行为驱动开发)

Feature: User Authentication
  Scenario: Login with valid credentials
    Given a user with email "test@example.com"
    When the user logs in with correct password
    Then they should see the dashboard

Metrics

指标

  • Code Coverage: % of code executed by tests (aim for 80%+)
  • Test Pass Rate: % of tests passing
  • Test Execution Time: How long tests take to run
  • Mutation Score: % of introduced bugs caught
  • 代码覆盖率:测试执行覆盖的代码占比(目标80%+)
  • 测试通过率:通过的测试占比
  • 测试执行时间:测试运行所需时长
  • 变异分数:捕获到的引入bug的占比

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

需避免的常见陷阱

  • Over-testing trivial code
  • Not testing error paths
  • Flaky tests (non-deterministic)
  • Testing implementation details
  • Ignoring performance in tests
  • Not testing concurrency
  • 过度测试琐碎代码
  • 未测试错误路径
  • 不稳定测试(非确定性)
  • 测试实现细节
  • 在测试中忽略性能
  • 未测试并发场景
