Introduction to Software Testing

🎓 View our courses: https://scrimba.com/links/all-courses Testing your code allows you to check that your logic works as expected every time, giving you code confidence, lowering stress levels, and allowing you to deliver faster results! 🎉 That's why we've asked Ian Douglas, Senior Developer Advocate at Postman, to join this stream to give us a "Testing 101" - all the basics you need to know to start testing ASAP. The earlier you start incorporating tests into your code base, the better - but it’s never too late. That means that this stream will be useful for both newbie coders and those already working in the field who want to level up 📈 We'll talk about: 💜 What is testing? 💜 What types of testing are there? 💜 How much testing do I need to do? 💜 Unit testing 💜 Integration testing 💜 Regression testing 💜 System testing 💜 User-acceptance testing 💜 Usability testing 💜 Security testing 💜 Manual testing vs automated testing 💜 Cross-browser testing 💜 What are testing tools/ frameworks 💜 What is API testing - Postman 💜 The software testing life cycle 💜 What is Test-Driven-Development? 🖥 Contents 🖥 0:00 - Introduction 2:05 - Why people avoid testing 3:18 - What is testing? 4:50 - What is an assertion? 5:23 - What types of testing are there? 8:00 - Difference between the developer and the user perspective 9:50 - How much testing do I need to do? 15:55 - Congrats to Milos for getting the job! 16:54 - Is there a difference between writing tests before or after the code is developed? 19:13 - At what point does testing begin? 20:42 - Regression Testing 22:12 - What is the difference between testing and debugging? 23:47 - What are testing tools/frameworks/libraries? 29:18 - What do you think of Jest testing? 29:53 - What is security testing 32:47 - Is testing done by UX?
