Summary

This concludes the test code walkthrough. When you read the code, you might want to use only a subset of the ideas that are illustrated. Maybe the Cucumber method isn't really a good fit for you, or you value concise and succinct code over the layered abstractions used in the example. That is a natural and sound reaction. Adopt the ideas so they work for your team. Also, have a look at the other flavors of the testing code available in the source bundle when deciding on what works for you!

Software testing is a vast subject that can fill volumes. In this chapter, we surveyed some of the many different types of testing available. We also looked at concrete ways of working with automated software testing in a Continuous Integration server. We used Jenkins and Maven as well as JUnit and JMeter. Although these tools are Java oriented, the concepts translate readily to other environments.

Now that we have built and tested our code, we will start working with deploying our code in...
