🧰 Key Concepts

  • Test Scope: Validate interactions between modules (e.g., API, database, frontend)
  • Test Types:
    • End-to-end testing
    • Contract testing
    • API integration testing
  • Tools:

🔧 Best Practices

  1. Mock External Dependencies
    Use tools like Mockito to isolate components.
  2. Automate Test Execution
    Integrate with CI/CD pipelines like GitHub Actions for continuous testing.
  3. Test Data Management
    Create reusable test datasets to avoid redundancy.
