IV.10 Quality Scenarios

The following are the various quality scenarios that need to be taken care of while building the application.

Testability/Coverage

Using JaCoCo during development and the build process (https://info.michael-simons.eu/2014/05/22/jacoco-maven-and-netbeans-8-integration/) ensures that we get at least 95% code coverage.

Testability/Independent from External Services

The architecture should be designed in such a way that algorithms that depend on external services can be tested without having the external service available; that is, all the external dependencies should be mockable.

For example, FetchBikingPicturesJob needs a resource containing an RSS feed. Retrieving the resource and parsing it are at least two different tasks. Fetching the resource through a separate class, DailyFratzeProvider, makes testing the actual parsing independent from an HTTP connection and thus relatively simple.
