====== Different Types of Software Testing ======

All software needs testing.

===== Unit Tests =====

A unit test method should validate one single concern or unit of code and should be:
  * Repeatable -- You can rerun the same test as many times as you want.
  * Consistent -- Every time you run the test, you get the same result.
  * Transient -- It has no "hard" dependencies on an external resource.
  * Fast -- The test should only take up to a couple of seconds to execute.


===== Integration Tests =====

Integration tests try to verify the interfaces between components. They are meant to make sure that the entire application works together correctly and as expected.

===== User Acceptance Testing =====

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) involves users of a computer system using scripts to test the interaction between a user and the system. Sometimes UAT can be automated, but it is always preferable to have real users running the test.
