Despite the fact that I\u2019m a Java and Scala developer I still passionate about testing software, to be more precise\u2013 web applications. It\u2019s really interesting to develop web app and be confident that the apps are of good quality.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019ve started a career the most popular web architecture was MVC (Model View Control) and that was pretty simple. When you develop some business logic you have to write some unit tests which check a functionality of internal controller functions and this is enough. Integration tests were more complex task at that time because such tests imply usage of some mock frameworks.<\/p>\n

But the time moves on. And the old MVC architecture has become insufficient for numerous client types such as smartphones, tablets, browsers.\u00a0REST architecture\u00a0<\/strong>started to substitute the MVC pattern. More and more apps started use one API to communicate with different clients via HTTP. This circumstance was more then innovative. Because all business logic related to data and data processing was concentrated on servers meanwhile the client-side was responsible for representation of the data and some extra manipulation with it.
\nAs you probably guessed I just described a principles which are used in a Single Page Application approach (SPA). In this manner built a lot of modern apps Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.<\/p>\n

While developers have changed their apps, the ways of testing were mutate too. As a result appeared a new layer on which testing was not just applicable but was very efficient. I talk exactly about API layer. Since an API is consumed by different clients (smartphones, desktops\u2026), make sense to gather a group of tests which check a common logic for all types of clients and to highlight the client-specific test scenarios to focus on a client specific logic. The logic works with data which was already tested in API layer.<\/p>\n

Such approach gives us an amazing testing strategy. Testers save time, because they do not need to repeat tests on different clients by interacting with already tested data sets. They just need to pay all attention to a UI and some specific features.<\/p>\n

Automated testing of REST-services<\/h3>\n

In my own experience I perform testing of REST API layer by writing automated test scripts. For this purpose I use\u00a0REST-assured<\/strong>\u00a0library developed by JayWay company. This java library is really strong weapon for automated testing of REST-services.<\/p>\n

The code of such tests looks really nice:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
view source<\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n

print<\/a>?<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
01.<\/code>@Test<\/code><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
02.<\/code>public<\/code> void<\/code> getLandLaordTest() {<\/code><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
03.<\/code>given()<\/code><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
04.<\/code>.contentType(ContentType.JSON)<\/code><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
05.<\/code>.pathParam(<\/code>\"id\"<\/code>, <\/code>\"DoYlvMXN\"<\/code>)<\/code><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
06.<\/code>.when()<\/code><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
07.<\/code>.<\/code>get<\/code>(<\/code>\"\/landlords\/{id}\"<\/code>)<\/code><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
08.<\/code>.then()<\/code><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
09.<\/code>.statusCode(<\/code>200<\/code>)<\/code><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
10.<\/code>.body(<\/code>\"firstName\"<\/code>, equalTo(<\/code>\"Sam\"<\/code>))<\/code><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
11.<\/code>.body(<\/code>\"trusted\"<\/code>, equalTo(<\/code>false<\/code>));<\/code><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
12.<\/code>}<\/code><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s pretty concise and not verbose at all. One more advantage of REST-assured usage in a java projects is its simplicity. I\u00a0can teach any member<\/a>\u00a0of my team to develop such tests in a 3-4 hours. Also it works well with the most popular java testing frameworks such as TestNG, JUnit and Hamcrest.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/h3>\n

I recommend to test code you write because it lifts you on a next level of software development competences. Automating of work is a key to success and investment in saved time.<\/p>\n
