Look inside
External services, databases, and other dependencies are hard to run in a predictable way and can often cause test failures when there is no issue in your code. In this liveProject, you’ll isolate unnecessary dependencies and replace them with mock objects that have more manageable behavior. You’ll then be able to develop isolated unit tests, which do not break due to external reasons, are easy to write and run, and have fast execution times.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
