Unit testing anti-patterns:
Happy Path Tests
Validation and Boundary
Easy Tests
The Giant
The Cuckoo
The Conjoined Twins
The Slow Poke
Anal Probe
Test It All
Line Hitter
Wait and See
The Silent Catcher
Chain Gang
The Mockery
The Free Ride
The Local Hero
Wet Floor
The Flickering Test
The Environmental Vandal
Second Class Citizens
The Secret Catcher
Logic in Tests
Code Matching
Misleading Tests
Not Asserting
Asserting on Not-Null

5. /24@yegor256 5
I believe that one anti-pattern
is still missing:
The algorithm
Provided we’re talking about OOP

6. /24@yegor256 6
xUnit test method is
basically a procedure.

7. /24@yegor256 7
class BookTest {
@Test
void testWorksAsExpected() {
Book book = new Book();
book.setLanguage(Locale.RUSSIAN);
book.setEncoding(“UTF-8”);
book.setTitle(“Дон Кихот”);
assertTrue(book.getURL().contains(“%D0%94%D0%BE%D0”));
}
}
1.Algorithm
2.Output
3.Assertion

8. /24@yegor256 8
A test method must have nothing
but a single statement:
assertThat()
Provided we’re talking about Java

9. /24@yegor256 9
class BookTest {
@Test
void testWorksAsExpected() {
// nothing goes here
assertThat(
new Book(“Дон Кихот”, “UTF-8”, Locale.RUSSIAN),
new HasURL(new StringContains(“%D0%94%D0%BE%D0”))
);
}
}

10. /24@yegor256 10
Assert that the book is similar
to a book that has a URL that
contains a string that is equal to
“%D0%94”.
assertThat(
new Book(“Дон Кихот”, “UTF-8”, Locale.RUSSIAN),
new HasURL(new StringContains(“%D0%94%”))
);

11. /24@yegor256 11
Hamcrest
By the way, this is the anagram for “matchers”.

12. /24@yegor256 12
Some of anti-patterns will just
disappear:
Happy Path Tests
Validation and Boundary
Easy Tests
The Giant
The Cuckoo
The Conjoined Twins
The Slow Poke
Anal Probe
Test It All
Line Hitter
Wait and See
The Silent Catcher
Chain Gang
The Mockery
The Free Ride
The Local Hero
Wet Floor
The Flickering Test
The Environmental Vandal
Second Class Citizens
The Secret Catcher
Logic in Tests
Code Matching
Misleading Tests
Not Asserting
Asserting on Not-Null

13. /24@yegor256 13
Obvious benefits:
Reduced complexity
Immutable objects
Shared “matchers”
Fake objects and no mocking
Better design (more object-oriented)

14. /24@yegor256
Reduced Complexity
14
void testWorksAsExpected() {
assertThat(
new Book(“Дон Кихот”, “UTF-8”, Locale.RUSSIAN),
new HasURL(new StringContains(“%D0%94%D0%BE%D0”))
);
}
No free ride
No multi asserts
No @Before/@After

15. /24@yegor256
Immutable Objects
15
void testWorksAsExpected() {
assertThat(
new Book(“Дон Кихот”, “UTF-8”, Locale.RUSSIAN),
new HasURL(new StringContains(“%D0%94%D0%BE%D0”))
);
}
No setters
No temporal coupling
No procedures

16. /24@yegor256
Shared Matchers
16
void testWorksAsExpected() {
assertThat(
new Book(“Дон Кихот”, “UTF-8”, Locale.RUSSIAN),
new HasURL(new StringContains(“%D0%94%D0%BE%D0”))
);
}
No private static methods
No duplication
Cleaner logs

17. /24@yegor256
No Mocking
17
void testWorksAsExpected() {
assertThat(
new Book(“Дон Кихот”, “UTF-8”, Locale.RUSSIAN),
new HasURL(new StringContains(“%D0%94%D0%BE%D0”))
);
}
No assumptions
No false positives

18. /24@yegor256 18
class BookTest {
@Test
void testWorksAsExpected() {
Book b = new Book(“Дон Кихот”, “UTF-8”, Locale.RUSSIAN);
Matcher m = new HasURL(new StringContains(“%D0%94%D0%BE%D0”));
assertThat(b, m);
}
}
1.Object
2.Matcher
3.Assertion
