Testing Matrix: Comparative Characteristics of Testing Categories
Characteristic | Unit Tests | Integration Tests | Browser Tests |
---|---|---|---|
Purpose | Test individual components in isolation | Verify interactions between components | Simulate user interactions with the application |
Speed | Fast | Moderate | Slow |
Dependencies | Few | Moderate to More | Most (Includes web server) |
Confidence | High | Moderate to High | High |
Isolation | Isolated | Partial isolation | Interacts with full application stack |
Scope | Narrow focus on a single unit | Broader focus on component interactions | Broadest, covers entire application |
Environment | Typically runs in-memory, no external setup | May require setup of external dependencies | Requires a web server and a simulated browser environment |
Data Access | Mocks or stubs for data access | May involve real database interactions | Real database interactions, similar to actual user experience |
Ease of Debugging | Easier due to isolation | Moderate, may involve multiple components | More complex due to involvement of browser interactions |
Resource Usage | Minimal | Moderate | Relatively high due to browser emulation |
