2
00:00:02,049 --> 00:00:03,766
Let's take a quick look now and see what's

3
00:00:03,766 --> 00:00:05,878
covered in the course and how it's structured.

4
00:00:05,878 --> 00:00:07,304
So the first section is really

5
00:00:07,304 --> 00:00:09,670
all about covering some foundational theory.

6
00:00:09,670 --> 00:00:11,554
In this section we're going to learn about the core

7
00:00:11,554 --> 00:00:14,036
best practices which we apply to unit tests and get

8
00:00:14,036 --> 00:00:16,352
a foundation of some fundamental concepts we need to

9
00:00:16,352 --> 00:00:18,982
have in mind to be able to write them effectively.

10
00:00:18,982 --> 00:00:21,056
Once we've got that under our belts, we're going to get

11
00:00:21,056 --> 00:00:23,698
up and running so that we can actually use JUnit.

12
00:00:23,698 --> 00:00:25,546
So here we'll see how to create a Java

13
00:00:25,546 --> 00:00:27,838
project which uses JUnit with Maven Gradle.

14
00:00:27,838 --> 00:00:29,096
Then we're going to have a walkthrough of

15
00:00:29,096 --> 00:00:31,196
the project structure so we understand what's in

16
00:00:31,196 --> 00:00:33,214
there and know where to put our tests.

17
00:00:33,214 --> 00:00:34,594
And then we'll just cover some coding

18
00:00:34,594 --> 00:00:36,766
conventions we need to use going forwards.

19
00:00:36,766 --> 00:00:39,512
The next section is all about LEARNING JUNIT itself.

20
00:00:39,512 --> 00:00:42,345
We'll cover the main JUnit concepts and show how they

21
00:00:42,345 --> 00:00:44,876
are used in context as we write some simple test code.

22
00:00:44,876 --> 00:00:47,276
Don't worry, it's going to be super easy to understand

23
00:00:47,276 --> 00:00:49,482
as we show things in context and you'll be able

24
00:00:49,496 --> 00:00:51,870
to retain the concepts in your head that way.

25
00:00:51,870 --> 00:00:54,082
Finally, we'll look at some ADVANCED CONCEPTS.

26
00:00:54,082 --> 00:00:55,976
This includes a look at Hamcrest, which is a

27
00:00:55,976 --> 00:00:58,126
powerful assertions library which comes shipped with

28
00:00:58,126 --> 00:01:00,476
chain in it. We'll also have an introduction to the

29
00:01:00,476 --> 00:01:02,909
concepts of mock objects and mocking in Unit Tests

30
00:01:02,909 --> 00:01:06,046
using Mockito, the number one library for this in Java.

31
00:01:06,046 --> 00:01:08,086
And then we'll wrap up with a look at code coverage.

32
00:01:08,086 --> 00:01:10,319
Since this is used as a popular metric in development

33
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,669
projects, this shows us where we have gaps in our

34
00:01:12,669 --> 00:01:15,177
testing and guides us where we need to add more Unit

35
00:01:15,177 --> 00:01:17,710
Tests. The course is geared to absolute beginners

36
00:01:17,710 --> 00:01:20,036
in JUnit and Unit Testing, although if you've had

37
00:01:20,036 --> 00:01:22,069
some experience of JUnit before, but are still not

38
00:01:22,069 --> 00:01:24,169
sure of things like how to write and structure unit

39
00:01:24,169 --> 00:01:26,585
tests, how assertions work and how to write them,

40
00:01:26,585 --> 00:01:29,069
mocking and mock objects and how that works,

41
00:01:29,069 --> 00:01:31,712
etc.Then this is also a great course for you.

42
00:01:31,712 --> 00:01:33,380
Anyway, that's the other view of the course.

43
00:01:33,380 --> 00:01:34,614
So let's get started.
