Summary

This chapter explored the critical role of testing in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of our Java applications. We started with an introduction to unit testing, highlighting its purpose, benefits, and best practices for writing effective tests. We then covered performance testing, explaining its objectives and the various types such as load and stress testing. The chapter concluded with a look at overarching strategies to integrate both testing types seamlessly into the development workflow, emphasizing the need for unified frameworks and comprehensive test coverage to enhance the overall quality and performance of our Java applications.

In the next chapter, we will take an extensive look at how to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and technologies to help ensure that our applications are as efficient as possible and that they perform at the highest possible level. The chapter offers several opportunities for developers to harness the power of AI for the...
