Clean Code Nugget 3: Testing (Part 1)

As part of our code quality initiative (to help people across RES to write better code and produce better software), we recently held our third Clean Code Nugget meeting. This was the first of a series covering the topic of testing. It covers the following subjects:

• A brief recap of what Clean Code is.
• A brief definition of what a test is.
• An overview of the different levels of testing.
• Some simple test examples.
• An overview of Python testing frameworks

Here are a some of links that we referred to in our discussions:

• Different levels of testing: http://softwaretestingfundamentals.com/software-testing-levels/
• Different types of testing: http://softwaretestingfundamentals.com/software-testing-types/
• UI testing tools: https://www.cypress.io/how-it-works and https://nightwatchjs.org/
• A comparison of Python testing frameworks: https://pythontesting.net/start-here/

Stay tuned for further videos, and happy coding!
