Static, Unit, Integration, and End-to-End Tests Explained - Software Testing Series #1

"Prevention is better than cure." Ever heard that one before? Turns out that it also applies to software. You can either fix bugs as you find them or write tests to prevent them from happening. Writing tests has many benefits. Some of them are: 💤 You sleep better knowing that your system won't break overnight 🍻 Your colleagues feel more confident approving your code 💰 Companies want to hire you Most developers will ignore this and keep writing code without tests, just like most people won't take care of their health until they're sick. But not you! Because you care about code quality. This video will give you a much better foundation for software testing! We go over the following topics: 1. Static tests 2. Unit tests 3. Integration tests 4. End-to-End (E2E) tests 5. Why do we need them? 6. Which ones should you use? Plus: ⚡️ It's only 15 minutes long 🧑‍🏫 It has code examples for each type of test 🧑‍💻 We made a GitHub repository for you to follow along 📚 Read the article: https://www.lucaspaganini.com/academy... 🚨 Subscribe to the newsletter: https://www.lucaspaganini.com/newsletter 📧 Email: [email protected] 🐦 Twitter:   / lucaspaganini   📸 Instagram:   / lucaspaganini   ---------- CHAPTERS 00:00 Short Version 00:42 Introduction 00:55 What is Software testing 01:30 Static tests 05:50 Unit tests 07:19 Integration tests 09:05 End-To-End tests 12:22 Verdict 13:10 Conclusion REFERENCES 1.
