Topics

Unit Testing

Part of the Backend Developer Roadmap.

Summary

Testing the smallest independent pieces of backend code — a single function or class — in isolation from the database, network, or other dependencies.

How to Learn This

  • 1Write unit tests for 3-4 pure utility functions in a backend project.
  • 2Practice testing edge cases (empty input, invalid data), not just the happy path.
  • 3Learn the AAA pattern: Arrange, Act, Assert.
