If you don’t like unit testing your product, most likely your customers won’t like to test it, either.
A unit test is intended to perform testing for a single method of your code, these methods should be atomic, this means that they should only perform one operation and have a single responsibility. Atomicity help us improve our testing, makes our code more reusable and easier to maintain.
Unit tests don’t care about dependencies and infrastructure, because of this, unit tests should run very quickly, this allows us to integrate unit tests into our continuous integration processes and deployments to discover bugs early on our development process.
All of this is great right? I don’t want to extend this post talking all about the perks of unit testing since most probably you are already aware of unit testing importance and want to get started right away.
