DOI: METHODS OF ENHANCING UNIT TEST QUALITY FOR RELIABLE CODE
Nikhil Badwaik , Software Engineer at NIKE INC Portland OR, USAAbstract
In modern software engineering, unit testing plays a central role in maintaining the reliability and quality of the code. In light of this, the article "Methods for Improving Unit Tests to Improve Code Reliability" highlights various strategies and practices aimed at optimizing the unit testing process. Based on extensive research and many years of experience, methods such as improving the independence of tests, increasing their determinism and readability, as well as the introduction of test automation techniques are presented. Important aspects are discussed, including test-driven development (TDD), test coverage analysis, and component isolation. The purpose of the article is to provide readers with a comprehensive set of recommendations for creating faster, clearer and more reliable tests, which ultimately contributes to the development of better software.
