Approval Testing - An Alternative to Traditional Unit Testing by Sam Taggart
Traditional unit testing falls apart when validating complicated outputs. It also falls apart when dealing with legacy code where you aren’t sure what the correct output should be. Approval Testing is an easy to use solution to both of these problems that works with all existing testing frameworks. I’ll talk about some really useful features like paramaterized tests, combination tests, and scrubbers. I intend to highlight the use cases for all these and how approval testing can be really helpful when working with legacy code.
