Testing ​

Overview ​

Testing is the process of ensuring the app works as expected.

Types ​

  • Manual Testing: Group of tests run by a human.
  • Automated Testing: Group of written tests run using a tool or a script.

Levels ​

  • Unit Testing: A Test written for a small piece of code in isolation like a function.
  • Integration Testing: A Test written for a functionality (group of units).
  • API Testing: A subset of integration test, and its a test written for an API endpoint.
  • End-to-end Testing: A Test written for a functionality from end-user perspective.

Importance ​

Writing automated tests is not optional for production apps. The more you invest in, the more confident your deployments will be.

Mahaam Testing ​

Mahaam has the minimal accepted testing suite, it has automated API integration tests using postman, and only the happy path scenarios.
