How to make your unit tests Spektacular

Hello JUnit my old friend
Our JUnit test structure @Test fun test_name() { //given set
up context here (mocks, variables, prerequisites etc.) //when execute action here //then assertions go here }
Testing circles of hell 1. Naming hell 2. Context hell
3. Assertion hell
Naming Hell @Test public void validateFacebookAccessTokenAndLogin_CallsFacebookTokenRequestPermissionsDeniedError_WhenAllNecessaryPermissionsAre NotGranted() { . .

@Test public void should_not_enable_pay_button_when_promotion_is_applied_and_there_is_nothing_to_pay_and_credit_card_is_required() { // given givenPaymentCardWidgetInitialised(); givenPaymentDetailsWidgetInitialised(); givenNoCardSelected();

Spek tastic
BDD • Verbose in communication • Concise in code •
Putting tests in context • Creating a specification for the test subject • Documenting the subject’s behaviour
Spek syntax given("a patient") { // set up context here
on("treating the patient") { // action goes here it("heals the patient") { // assertion (test) goes here } } }
Spek syntax xxx("description") { // BLOCK BODY }
Spek syntax given("a patient") { // set up context here
on("treating the patient") { // action goes here it("heals the patient") { // assertion (test) goes here } } }
Spek syntax given("a patient") { // set up context here
on("treating the patient") { // action goes here it("heals the patient") { // assertion (test) goes here } } }
Spek syntax given("a patient") { // set up context here
on("treating the patient") { // action goes here it("heals the patient") { // assertion (test) goes here } } }
It it("tests the universe”) { true `should equal to` true
}
On fun compute() = 6 * 7 on("running the ultimate
computation") { val actualAnswer = compute() it("should equal 42") { actualAnswer `should be` 42 } it("should be divisible by 2") { actualAnswer % 2 `should be` 0 } }
Given given("the number 6") { val x = 6 given("the
number 7") { val y = 7 on(“multiplying") { val actualAnswer = multiply(x, y) it("should equal 42") { actualAnswer `should be` 42 } } } }
given("the number 2") { val x = 2 on("squaring") {
val actualAnswer = squared(x) it("should equal 4") { actualAnswer `should be` 4 } } on(“cubing") { val actualAnswer = cubed(x) it("should equal 8") { actualAnswer `should be` 8 } } }
State in tests val subject = SubjectUnderTest() it("checks the subject
instance") { println("Instance: $subject") } it("checks the subject instance again") { println("Instance again: $subject") } Output Instance: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@3bb9a3ff Instance again: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@3bb9a3ff
Memoized val subject by memoized { SubjectUnderTest() } it("checks the
subject instance") { println("Instance: $subject") } it("checks the subject instance again") { println("Instance again: $subject") } Output Instance: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@59309333 Instance again: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@222545dc
val subject by memoized { SubjectUnderTest() } on("action 1") {
println("On instance 1: $subject") it("checks the subject instance") { println("It instance 1: $subject") } } on("action 2") { println("On instance 2: $subject") it("checks the subject instance again") { println("It instance 2: $subject") } } Output On instance 1: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@67d48005 It instance 1: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@67d48005 On instance 2: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@478190fc It instance 2: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@478190fc
val subject by memoized { SubjectUnderTest() } given("context 1") {
println("Given instance 1: $subject") it("checks the subject instance") { println("It instance 1: $subject") } } given("context 2") { println("Given instance 2: $subject") it("checks the subject instance again") { println("It instance 2: $subject") } } Output Given instance 1: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@6a28ffa4 Given instance 2: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@6a28ffa4 It instance 1: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@6a28ffa4 It instance 2: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@222545dc
Due to how Spek is structured, group scopes are eagerly
evaluated during the discovery phase. Any logic that needs to be evaluated before and/or after test scopes should be done using fixtures (…)
val subject by memoized { SubjectUnderTest() } given("context 1") {
beforeEachTest { println("Given instance 1: $subject") } it("checks the subject instance") { println("It instance 1: $subject") } } given("context 2") { beforeEachTest { println("Given instance 2: $subject") } it("checks the subject instance again") { println("It instance 2: $subject") } } Output Given instance 1: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@895e367 It instance 1: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@895e367 Given instance 2: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@2b72cb8a It instance 2: randoms.SubjectUnderTest@2b72cb8a
Test execution order 1. Discovery - all given blocks are
executed first 2. Execution: For each it: 1. beforeEachTest sections of containing givens 2. Containing on is executed 3. it is executed
Inside a given: 1. To instantiate variables, always use memoized
2. Everything else should be in beforeEachTest
Our rules for well written speks 1. Describe the behaviour,
not the implementation 2. One assertion per it 3. One action per on 4. One statement per given (ideally!) 5. Everything in a given should be in beforeEachTest or use memoized
class CreatePasswordValidatorSpek : Spek({ val mockContext by memoized { mock<Context>()
} val createPasswordValidator by memoized { CreatePasswordValidator(mockContext) } val INVALID_PASSWORD = "nonvalidpassword" val PATIENT_ID = "patient_id" val ERROR_MESSAGE = "message" given("an error message is returned") { beforeEachTest { whenever(mockContext.getString(any())).thenReturn(ERROR_MESSAGE) } given("a non valid password request") { val createPasswordRequest by memoized { CreatePasswordRequest.builder() .setPassword(INVALID_PASSWORD) .setPatientId(PATIENT_ID) .build() } on("validation") { val testObserver = createPasswordValidator.validate(createPasswordRequest).test() it("returns a validation exception") { testObserver.assertError(InvalidPasswordException::class.java) } it("sets the error message to \"$ERROR_MESSAGE\"") { testObserver.errors()[0].message `should be` ERROR_MESSAGE } } } } })
None
Spek drawbacks
Great tools that allow focusing on testing behaviour instead of
implementation
So much easier to read the tests
Allows to create clean, concise and expressive tests
I love how you can create a test skeleton for
the whole class, and then write all the mocks and verifications in it
The test outputs are just plain english and you can
go straight to the error when it fails
Tests have structure that allows to easily check which scenarios
are covered and which are lacking tests
I’m amazed at how well Spek tests scale compared to
traditional tests
