Chapter 10, Integrating Continuous Testing

1. True. In a unit test, an individual component is tested in isolation. In an object- oriented language, this is often a single class.
2. False. In an integration test, the correct working of a group of components is verified, and not the entire assembled system. If the entire assembled and deployed system is tested, this is referred to as a system test.
3. Answer B is correct. The testing pyramid prescribes a large set of unit tests that verify as many requirements as possible. Integration tests are added only for those risks that cannot be covered using unit tests, resulting in a lower number of integration tests. Even fewer system tests are added, only to cover the risks not covered by either unit or integration tests.
4. Answer C is correct. All other types of testing are covered in this chapter.
5. Two techniques that can be mentioned here are code reviews and pipeline gates. Code reviews allow developers to review the work of...
