What's included
Description
Testing real applications is much more complicated than just calling functions. There are a lot of network requests to external resources, interaction with the file system, asynchronous code, and external libraries with their tricks. It all comes down to a good understanding of side effects and effective ways to isolate and manage them.
You will learn
- Freely test even those applications that interact a lot with the external environment
- Test code that actively works with the file system
- Apply polymorphism to replace the implementation of code that is inconvenient in testing
- Use stubs and mocking for their intended purpose
