Writing tests is often seen as "time-consuming and annoying" but is critical for maintaining long-term quality.
Unit testing is a software testing method where individual units or components of code are tested in isolation to verify they work correctly. A unit test validates a specific function, method, or class behaves as expected. Unit tests are automated, fast, and provide immediate feedback during development.
Writing Comprehensive and Meaningful Unit Tests provides practical benefits for engineering teams, including improved efficiency, better code quality, and streamlined workflows. The key advantages include:
