Testing is a critical part of software development. This course will explore the built-in unit testing features of Ruby, as well as how to use Cucumber and behavior driven development (BDD) to help with testing Ruby code. Begin by learning how to describe unit testing. Next, create and run a test unit. From there you will identify assertion types, assert numerical values, strings with patterns, and objects. As you progress, you will learn how to install Cucumber, create a scenario project with it, and setup step definitions to run a test. Finally, as an exercise, you will use unit tests and behavior driven development to verify code functionality.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • describe how unit testing can benefit development with Ruby
    create and run a unit test
    identify the different assertion types and how they can be used to test code
    use assertions to validate numeric values
    use assertions to validate strings or patterns in strings
    use assertions to verify objects and object properties
  • set up and tear down prerequisites for running a unit test
    describe behavior driven development and how it can be used for testing using Cucumber
    install Cucumber and create a Cucumber project
    create a scenario in a Cucumber .feature file
    create the step definitions for a Cucumber scenario and run the test
    use unit tests and behavior driven development to verify code functionality
