Testing Overview

Testing is a very broad subject, but here is how we commonly do it with ToolTwist projects...

Types of Testing

• Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)
• Unit testing
• Performance/Load Testing
• Infrastructure tests

What is being tested

• Blocks of code.
• [Web services](Testing Web Services)
• [User Interface via the browser](Browser testing using Selenium)

Technology

• Language - Java and Node
• Data storage - Mysql, memcached, SOLR, REDIS, etc

User Interface Testing

We usually test the UI using Selenium. Selenium can test the application on all the popular browsers, including mobile browsers). It can also test on a headless browser (a browser not visible on the desktop), allowing fast background tests to be performed.
