This meetup will delve into the critical role of automated testing within a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline, with a specific focus on unit and integration testing. We will begin by clarifying the distinct yet complementary purposes of these two essential testing methodologies. Unit tests, which validate the functionality of individual components in isolation, serve as the foundational layer of any robust testing strategy. Integration tests, on the other hand, ensure that these separate components work together seamlessly as a cohesive system. The session will demonstrate how to effectively integrate both types of tests into a Jenkins CI pipeline. We will explore practical examples and best practices, such as using mocking and stubs for unit tests to isolate dependencies, and setting up a dedicated test environment for integration tests. Attendees will learn how to automate the execution of these tests with every code commit, providing immediate feedback on the health of the codebase. By catching bugs and regressions early in the development cycle, teams can significantly reduce the cost and effort of fixing issues later. This session will provide the knowledge and tools necessary to build a comprehensive, automated testing strategy that is a cornerstone of any successful CI/CD practice.
