Integration testingAnd UI testing (Selenium Web driver)

Tests can be different

Integration tests featuresTest several components togetherUse dependencies (DB, Services, API, FS, AD, ...)Can have different behaviorRequire configurationResults can be different (depend on environment,

order of execution, multithreading, phase of Moon).

Integration tests featuresFollowing code can often be seen in

integration testsFile.Open(...)Connection.Close(...)Environment.MachineNameDateTime.NowTearDown(...)

Integration tests “Pro’s”

Pro’s:Make sure nuts and bolts fit togetherMake sure software stack components interact

smoothly Test behavior and infrastructure (tested code)/test

% is highReflect typical workflows

Integration tests “Con’s”

Con’s: Large time investmentHard to test all critical pathsHarder to localize source of errorsHarder to write and maintain

Project structure

Unit and integration tests should be separatedCommon practice is to end up project name with “.Tests” suffix

Front end test featuresPros:Hide the complexity of a backendTests can reproduce exactly what users doCan detect errors not visible by other types of testsUI tests can be utilized for any automation in

general

Front end test featuresCons:Execution timeThird party tools/environmentsHard to maintainComplexityDynamic pages
