Develop applications for the real world with a thorough software testing approach

About This Book

  • Develop a thorough understanding of TDD and how it can help you develop simpler applications with no defects using C# and JavaScript
    • Adapt to the mindset of writing tests before code by incorporating business goals, code manageability, and other factors
    • Make all your software units and modules pass tests by analyzing failed tests and refactoring code as and when required

      Who This Book Is For

      This book is for software developers with a basic knowledge of Test Driven Development (TDD) who want a thorough understanding of how TDD can benefit them and the applications they produce. The examples in this book are in C#, and you will need a basic understanding of C# to work through these examples.

      What You Will Learn

    • The core concepts of TDD
    • Testing in action with a real-world case study in C# and JavaScript using React
    • Writing proper Unit Tests and testable code for your application
    • Using different types of test double such as stubs, spies, and mocks
    • Growing an application guided by tests
    • Exploring new developments on a green-field application
    • Mitigating the problems associated with writing tests for legacy applications
    • Modifying a legacy application to make it testable

      In Detail

      Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a methodology that helps you to write as little as code as possible to satisfy software requirements, and ensures that what youve written does what its supposed to do. If youre looking for a practical resource on Test-Driven Development this is the book for you. Youve found a practical end-to-end guide that will help you implement Test-Driven Techniques for your software development projects.

      You will learn from industry standard patterns and practices, and shift from a conventional approach to a modern and efficient software testing approach in C# and JavaScript. This book starts with the basics of TDD and the components of a simple unit test. Then we look at setting up the testing framework so that you can easily run your tests in your development environment. You will then see the importance of defining and testing boundaries, abstracting away third-party code (including the .NET Framework), and working with different types of test double such as spies, mocks, and fakes.

      Moving on, you will learn how to think like a TDD developer when it comes to application development. Next, youll focus on writing tests for new/changing requirements and covering newly discovered bugs, along with how to test JavaScript applications and perform integration testing. Youll also learn how to identify code that is inherently un-testable, and identify some of the major problems with legacy applications that werent written with testability in mind.

      By the end of the book, youll have all the TDD skills youll need and youll be able to re-enter the world as a TDD expert!

      Style and approach

      A practical step-by-step approach with real-world case studies.

    Foreword

    I'll be honest, when I first looked at the title of this book, Practical Test-Driven Development Using C# 7, I thought "do we really need another book outlining the basics of unit testing and TDD?" I mean at this point, TDD isn't really that new, and plenty of authors have written about what TDD is and have given us countless examples of how to score a bowling or a tic-tac-toe game using TDD to drive the creation of the application.

    The problems most developers run into when learning or trying to implement TDD is not understanding what TDD itself is and what "red, green, refactor" means, but how to practically implement it in real-world situations. Most real-world applications are messy and don't conform easily to the usual TDD shoehorn that many well-meaning TDD books and examples try to demonstrate. The real difficulty in successfully implementing TDD arises when you try to use it to develop a non-trivial applicationan application with databases and multiple layers and external services you need to call.

    As a consultant, I spent a large amount of time teaching teams who were supposedly doing TDD how to actually do TDD. I saw countless examples of teams who would hardcode tests with fake data or call out directly to a database, because they didn't really understand what a mock was and how to isolate their tests. Moreover, I found many development teams that understood the basics of TDD, but didn't understand how to take business requirements and user stories and convert them into working unit tests that they can actually use to develop the system they were trying to create.

    I've never had a difficult time teaching software developers the basics of TDD. It's fairly easy to explain how TDD works and how to get started doing itand there have always been plenty of resources available to teach all that. No, what companies paid me the big bucks for was to sit down with their teams and explain all the nuances of TDD. What do you do when you have to mock a class that directly uses the database? How do you handle 15 test cases that have different input values but are essentially testing the same thing? Where do we start with TDDwhich tests do we write first?

    That's where Practical Test-Driven Development comes into the picture. For the first time ever, all that "real tricky shit," that I thought only I knew about and was esoteric and complicated to explain in a book, well it's explainedwith plenty of examplesright here in the one you are holding.

    When I first cracked open Practical Test-Driven Development, I was amazed. Not only did it explain the right concept of what TDD was (a design activity, not a testing one), and give an absolute beginner a step-by-step approach to learning and understanding TDD, but it took it far, far from there and showed you how to practically and pragmatically apply the concepts to a real-world, non-trivial application and did it in a way that didn't try and gloss over the messy stuff. Instead, Practical Test-Driven Development plows right into all the nooks and crannies of TDD and tells you exactly the kinds of problem you will encounter and how to get past them.

    Here's the best partyou don't even have to know a thing about TDD to get huge value out of this book and become a better TDD practitioner than 90% of software developers who claim they are already doing TDD. Practical Test-Driven Development is laid out in such a way that it assumes that you don't know anything about TDD and shows you step-by-step, example-by-example, everything you need to know to go from complete beginner to expert in a way that I honestly didn't think was possible, until I sat down and read the book myself.

    All in all, I am extremely happy with this book and I have a feeling I'm going to be recommending it as the go-to resources for learning TDD for many years to come. Every developer should be doing TDD and doing it the right way. Therefore, every developer should read this book.
