Testing APIs
Proper automated testing helps you to reduce regression bugs and keeps your application stable. It makes sure that every change you make will fail during the build or testing phase if the change has any side effects on existing code. Investing in a test automation suite can give you peace of mind and will prevent any surprises in production.
This chapter will help you learn about test automation by showing you how to implement unit and integration test automation. You will learn how to test APIs manually and automatically. First, you will learn about automating unit and integration tests. After learning about these forms of automation, you will be able to make both types of testing an integral part of any build. You will also learn how to set up the Java Code Coverage (JaCoCo) tool to calculate different code coverage metrics.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Testing APIs and code manually
- Testing automation
