TDD, BDD, RSpec

Testing in Software Engineering
Testing is to determine if the requirements of the application are met
Classification:
White box testing
Black box testing
www.nascenia.com

Classification
White Box Testing:
- Tests specific paths through the code
- Tests decision points
Black Box Testing:
- Treats the program like black-box
- Tests specific input & output

TDD (Test-Driven Development)
Repetition of very short development cycle
Test-first programming concept
Write some code
Run the automated tests and see them succeed
Refactor code
Repeat
www.nascenia.com

BDD (Behavior-Driven Development)
Encourages collaboration between developers and non-technicals
Clear understanding of desired software behaviour
Combines Test-Driven Development, Domain Driven Design, and Acceptance Test-Driven Planning
Focuses on the reason of why the code should be created
www.nascenia.com

RSpec
BDD framework for the Ruby Programming Language
Has own mocking framework
Similar to a natural language specification
www.nascenia.com

Installation RSpec
In Gem-file:
group :test, :development do
gem 'rspec-rails'
end
Install >gem install rspec-rails
Install >bundle install
www.nascenia.com

Run RSpec
Run >db:migrate
Run >rake rspec
www.nascenia.com

Run Rspec(cont.)
After installation, there is a RSpec directory
Contains Spec directory of:
Controllers
Helpers
Models
Requests
Routings
Views etc
www.nascenia.com

Example:
Suppose, One has some dreams, He wants to list them and wish to complete within 10years.
So, he has a Controller like “Dream”,
- Has a Model of the same name.
- Has a view to see the dreams.
We are going to test the controllers, models and views mainly if he makes his dream correctly.
www.nascenia.com

RSpec with Controllers
Goal is to create very simple, easy to read
One assertion per test
Stub everything (actually we use “Factory girl”)
Emphasis on Controllers and Models to test
www.nascenia.com

RSpec with Controllers(cont.)
First, add “spec_helper” in the controller spec file. Like, in “dreams_controller_spec”
The file contains:
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails‘
www.nascenia.com

First, do the things once, that can be repeated many times. Like: at first, create a Dream instance
Then add setup
before(:all) do
@dream = Dream.create!
end
At the end Teardown
after(:all) do
@dream.delete
end
www.nascenia.com

Suppose, he has a show method, that can show a particular dream
def show
@dream = Dream.find(params[:id])
respond_with(@dream)
End
Simply, finds a “Dream” using a particular “id”, show this with “@dream”
www.nascenia.com

Now, we’ve to test the show, like,
describe "GET show" do
it "assigns the requested dream as @dream" do
get :show, :id => @dream1.id.to_s
assigns(:dream).should eq(@dream1)
end
www.nascenia.com

First, “show” is a “GET” method, So, we use to describe “GET show”
Then assigns the “dream” from our test to “@dream” of the controller to test if the match
Now, because the route like, dreams/:id/show
- So, we pass :id => @dream.id
www.nascenia.com

Then assigns the “@dream” from test controller to “:dream” in controller (they should be equal!)
assigns(:dream) @dream=Dream.find(params[:id])
should eq(@dream1) @dream
www.nascenia.com

Response with Rspec
Some, responses are given below:
response.should be_success
response.should render_template("complete_form")
response.should redirect_to(dreams_path)
www.nascenia.com

RSpec with Models
Factory Girl:
Gem, used to create objects
Similar to use fixtures
Factory.define :dream, :class=>Dream do |f|
f.name ‘dreamname1’
end
www.nascenia.com

RSpec with Models(cont.)
Again, he has a “Dream” Model
So, we have to create a stub “Dream” model to test this
This can be done using factory_girl
Suppose, he has a validation
- “Every Dream should have a name”
www.nascenia.com

RSpec with Models(cont.)
Describe Dream do
before(:all) do
@dream=Factory(:dream)
end
It “should have name” do
@dream.name=‘’
@dream.should_no be_valid
end
end
www.nascenia.com

RSpec with Views
Suppose, he wants to view all the dreams and has a “index.html” file
So, again at first, we have to make a stub array of “Dream” model
And if it renders the “index.html” then, the test is succeed
www.nascenia.com

RSpec with Views(cont.)
describe "dreams/index.html.erb" do
before(:each) do
assign(:dreams, [
stub_model(Dream),
stub_model(Dream)
])
end
it "renders a list of dreams" do
render
end
end
www.nascenia.com

Rcov
Code coverage tool for Ruby
Viewing overall test unit coverage of target code
Write gem ‘rcov’ in Gemfile
Install> gem install rcov
Run >rake spec:rcov
From “project/coverage/index.html”, we can see the total coverage in percentage
