How To Test Everything
- 1. How To Test Everything Noel Rappin Pathfinder Development
- 2. How To Test Everything ... In Rails Noel Rappin Pathfinder Development
- 3. Guidelines
- 4. The First Guideline Any change to the logic of the program should be driven by a failed test
- 5. The Second Guideline A test should be as close as possible to the associated code.
- 6. The Third Guideline Test features and functionality, not code
- 7. The Fourth Guideline Rails works. (Mostly). You don’t need to test it.
- 8. Framework
- 9. What Framework To Use?
- 10. What Framework To Use? Short Answer: I don’t care
- 11. What Framework To Use? Short Answer: I don’t care Longer Answer: Start with Rails Core, move when you have an unfulfilled need
- 12. What Framework To Use? Short Answer: I don’t care Longer Answer: Start with Rails Core, move when you have an unfulfilled need Those needs: Contexts, Factories, Mocks
- 13. Models
- 14. Associations
- 15. Associations No need to just check for the existence of an association Associations should be driven by failing tests of actual functionality Code extensions in an association block should be treated like any other code
- 16. Named Scopes
- 17. Named Scopes Named scopes are methods Don’t test that a named scope has the SQL decorations you put in Do test that the scope correctly finds or manages the objects you expect
- 19. Named Scope Tests assert_same_elements [@melvin, @thomas], User.primary_status
- 20. Named Scope Tests assert_same_elements [@melvin, @thomas], User.primary_status should_have_named_scope :primary_status do |u| ["online", "away"]include?(u.status) end
- 21. Should Have Scope def self.should_match_named_scope(named_scope, *args, &block) should "match named scope #{named_scope}" do ar_class = self.class.model_class scoped_objects = ar_class.send(named_scope, *args) assert !scoped_objects.blank? scoped_objects.each do |obj| assert block.call(obj) end non_scoped_objects = ar_class.all - scoped_objects assert !non_scoped_objects.blank? non_scoped_objects.each do |obj| assert !block.call(obj) end end end
- 22. Validations
- 23. Validations Don’t test Rails code Do test for valid state Do test anything custom And anything with a regex Failing saves can lead to irritating test
- 24. Controllers
- 25. Filters
- 26. Filters Generally, test as part of actual action Don’t need to re-test refactors Failing filters are a big cause of silent test failures
- 27. Views
- 28. Views Test for semantic structure (DOM ID, class) assert_select is your friend Sometimes, not test first
- 29. Test for the Negative What’s not there is as important as what is
- 30. Test for the Negative What’s not there is as important as what is assert_select "#edit_link", :count => 0
- 31. Test for the Negative What’s not there is as important as what is assert_select "#edit_link", :count => 0 assert_select "li:not(#edit_link)", :count => 2

- 36. Helpers
- 37. Helpers DO TEST HELPERS Auto generated in Rails 2.3 and up test/unit/helpers Methods like url_for can be stubbed in the test class class UsersHelperTest < ActionView::TestCase end

- 71. Legacy Apps Acceptance is the first step Make sure the suite runs Try black-box tests Try mock objects Look for seams Don’t look backward
- 72. Wrap Up
- 73. Wrap Up Code should flow from failed tests Test features and functionality Look for tools to help The goal is great code that delivers value
