Why Unit Testing?

Unit testing is software testing that involves the testing of individual units in source code to determine if they can be used. It is, in other words, the smallest component that can be tested. Because it is small, it is simple to design, implement, record, and analyse the test results. Unit testing is used to verify that each component of the program is functioning correctly. This is one of the most popular techniques for detecting maximum bugs.

It also offers many benefits such as tracking bugs, simplifying integration, and facilitating change.

Agile Process

Unit testing is a way to make coding more flexible and it’s one of its key benefits. When you add a new feature to your app, unit testing makes it easy to modify the code. This ensures that the application does not get affected.

Code Quality

Unit testing improves the quality of code. Unit testing identifies and corrects any defects before code is submitted for integration. It will always help you write better code before actually coding.

Early bug detection

Codes can be tracked more quickly by performing unit testing. Unit testing is usually performed by developers before integrating the code. This allows developers to fix the code without affecting other codes.

Simple Integration and Quick Changes

Unit testing allows for changes to the libraries at a later time. Unit testing allows you to reduce bugs in newly developed features. After each unit has been tested, the units can be integrated into an app by testing each one.

Documentation

It is used to document the system. Developers can use documentation to help them understand the functionality of a unit, and how it can be used.

Debugging Process

This simplifies the process of debugging. If the test fails, you will need to debug any changes that were made.

Design

Write the code first to think about design and create better designs. This is a must-have step, especially when you are performing android unit testing.

Economical

Bug fixes are cheaper if bugs can be found quickly. It is also easier to fix bugs that are detected earlier.
