For some parts of your system, you may find unit testing a good alernative to UI-based testing. Unit testing can be particularly effective for calculation engines and for business service components. Having a good set of unit tests for your system can help greatly when you come to change or refactor your system, as regression testing is automated and simple.

Feature List

• Develop unit tests using familiar arrange-act-assert pattern
• Test public actions of an eSpace, or private actions if tests are included in same eSpace
• Includes set of basic assert actions; you can add more yourself if required
• Test results summarised at test level, with further drill-down to show results for all assertions within test
• Automated scanning of environments to dynamically discover and include new unit tests published in any eSpace
• Automated republishing of unit test eSpace whenever code-under-test eSpace changes
• Run and re-run sets of unit tests as required
• Works with test-after or test-driven development

Main Benefits

• Business logic can be tested independently of any UI, making tests less brittle than Selenium-based UI testing
• Ideal for systems developed using 4-layer architecture recommended by OutSystems
• Makes it easier to do test-driven development, if desired
• Can alleviate reluctance to adopt OutSystems Agile Platform because of previous lack of unit testing support
