Cutting Edge - Beyond CRUD: Commands, Events and Bus

Cutting Edge - Beyond CRUD: Commands, Events and Bus: IC506997.jpg

In a simple CRUD system, each business event is pertinent to a single aggregate and only rarely the same event touches on multiple aggregates. However, when this happens, and aggregates and events are too numerous, the complexity of the resulting software grows considerably.

Code Coverage Isn't Only for Unit Tests

What is Code (or Test) Coverage?

Code coverage (or test coverage) shows which lines of the code were (or were not) being executed by the tests. It is also a metric which helps you to find out the percentage of your covered (executed) code by the tests. E.g.: It tells you that your codebase consists of 10 lines, 8 lines were being executed by your tests, so your coverage is 80%. (It tells you nothing about the quality of your software or how good your tests are.)

I’ve yet to see two development environments that are alike. But even if there is no cookie cutter approach to software delivery, there are standard approaches, and methodologies that are consistent throughout modern software development and that frame nearly all environments.

Because there is a big move in software testing to go from purely manual testing (a non-technical process) to a fully automated deeply technical one, how QA processes are set up, and how it fits into the overall delivery chain is very important. Let’s take a look at the two most common architectures for test automation, and why they may or may not be the best approach.
