What You'll Learn
By the end of this workshop you'll be able to:
- Use a diff tool to evaluate approval test failures and approve new results when appropriate.
- Use the Approvals framework to write test cases for existing code where a Printer already exists.
- Compare Approval testing with assertion-based testing and explain in which situations it has advantages.
- Describe Text-based and Pixel-based approaches.
- Describe the characteristics of Approval Testing.
About This Workshop
Approval Testing is an automation technique that can be more effective than traditional assertion-based test automation. For example when:
- The expected result is hard to calculate in advance, but easy to verify afterwards.
- The expected result has many aspects and details which are a lot of work to assert individually.
- You want to get high regression test coverage for existing code relatively quickly.
