Test Pyramids in Java

  1. Test pyramids in Java software development represent a strategy for structuring tests at different levels, prioritizing a higher number of unit tests, fewer integration tests, and even fewer end-to-end tests.
  2. The base of the test pyramid emphasizes unit tests in Java, where individual classes or methods are tested in isolation to ensure they function as expected. Unit Tests support the actual code. Each line of code should be justified, tested and supported with with at least one test.
  3. Integration tests sit in the middle of the pyramid, focusing on verifying the interactions between multiple components or services within the Java application. One Example could be a RepositoryTest in Spring boot, which tests the integration with the database. Another example is a @WebMvcTest which tests the web layer by loading the spring application context.
  4. At the top of the pyramid are end-to-end tests, which simulate real user scenarios to validate that the entire Java application works correctly as a cohesive system.
