Why Don't We Test More Often?
Why don't we test more often? "Testing is frustrating."
Why don't we test more often? "I don't see the
benefit"
Why don't we test more often? "I don't have time"
Why Test? Summary Why is Testing Important? Safety critical vs.
Mission critical Why Don't We Test More Often?
Best Practices
Test First vs. Test Last
Different Levels of Testing These are the kinds of tests
that this talk is going to cover Acceptance Integration Unit
Other Kinds of Tests These tests are important, but we
don’t have enough time to go into them here. Security Performance Exploratory
Properties of a Good Test Reads like a story (beginning,
middle, and end) Easy to read and understand what’s being tested
Tool Choice Cucumber vs. RSpec vs. Test::Unit vs. others
Tips for Consultants Don’t list testing as on giant line
item in your estimate Don’t make testing optional Let your client's risk tolerance dictate how much you test
Best Practices Summary Test first vs. test last Properties of
a good test Different levels of testing Tool choice Tips for consultants
Testing Spree Stores http://github/mscottford/sample-store
Getting Started Create a new spree store project with RSpec
and Capybara http://github.com/mscottford/sample-store branch: master
Create a Rails App $ gem install rails -v 3.2.8
$ rails _3.2.8_ new sample-store --skip-test- unit
Add Spree $ echo "gem 'spree', '~> 1.1.0'" >> Gemfile
$ bundle update $ rails g spree:install $ echo "/public/spree" >> .gitignore
Add RSpec and Capybara Gemfile: group :test do gem 'rspec-rails'
gem 'capybara' gem 'database_cleaner' gem 'factory_girl' gem 'faker' end
Add RSpec and Capybara $ bundle update $ rails g
rspec:install
Configure RSpec Add to spec_helper.rb, right before RSpec.configure: require 'database_cleaner'
require 'spree/core/testing_suppo rt/factories' require 'spree/core/testing_suppo rt/env' require 'spree/core/testing_suppo rt/controller_requests' require 'spree/core/url_helpers'
Configure RSpec In spec_helper.rb, change: config.use_transactional_ fixtures = true to:
config.use_transactional_ fixtures = false
Configure RSpec In spec_helper.rb inside RSpec.configure block, add: config.before(:each) do
if example.metadata[:js] DatabaseCleaner.strateg y = :truncation, { :except => [ 'spree_countries', 'spree_zones', 'spree_zone_members', 'spree_states', 'spree_roles' ]} else
Configure RSpec In spec_helper.rb inside RSpec.configure block, add: config.before(:each) do
DatabaseCleaner.start end config.after(:each) do DatabaseCleaner.clean end
Configure RSpec In spec_helper.rb inside RSpec.configure block, add: config.include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Meth
ods config.include Spree::Core::UrlHelpers config.include Spree::Core::TestingSup port::ControllerRequests
A simple test to make sure it's working spec/requests/home_spec.rb: require
'spec_helper' describe 'home' do it 'should load home page' do visit '/' page.should have_content('Home') end end $ bundle exec rake db:test:prepare $ be rspec
