Wrapping Up

Testing Elixir — by Andrea Leopardi, Jeffrey Matthias (29 / 80)

👈 End-to-End Tests | TOC | Chapter 3 Testing OTP 👉

We had a look at the practice of integration testing and end-to-end testing. We discussed in-depth ways to write integration tests for parts of the system that interface with external systems, and we looked at some Elixir-specific tooling for doing so. In the next chapter, we’ll look at testing one of the most peculiar tools in the Elixir and Erlang landscapes, the OTP set of abstractions. There we’ll see some of the things mentioned in this chapter being used in more practical scenarios.
