Why SeniorDev AI Is Writing Unit Tests, So You Don't Have To



Have you explored all the capabilities of Senior Dev AI? It's more than just a code review tool; there's a lot that could really boost the health of your codebase.


Specifically our latest feature: Automated Unit Tests.


Why Unit Tests? Unit tests are crucial in software development; they're like quality checks for individual parts of your code. But here's the catch: if your test depends on specific setups or external factors to pass, it's not a true unit test. Unit tests should isolate specific units of your code and test them in isolation, without relying on external dependencies.


What Unit Tests Are Not:

Also, unit tests aren't the same as other types of tests like smoke tests or end-to-end system tests. They focus on testing specific units of code, not the entire system or its interactions with external components.


But don't get me wrong; tests that do these things add value and should be part of your code quality approach. They just don't fall under the heading of unit tests.


What Unit Tests Aren't:

So, let's dive into what unit testing really is. It's about isolating and testing specific units of your code, like methods in C#. A true unit test tests something specific about that method in isolation, without calling every method in a namespace or relying on external factors. Allowing Senior Dev AI to provide Unit Tests, so that you don't have to master that practice can take your enterprise to the next bar up.
