Testing cheatsheet
November 24th, 2014
Sometimes it is not clear for everybody how unit tests relates to e2e-test. This cheatsheet, I created, describes in one page:
- The different definitions
- Different structures of the tests
- The importance of unit tests
- The importance of e2e tests
- External versus internal quality
- E2E and unit tests living next to each other
Feel free to download and use it in your project if you feel there is a confusion of tongues between unit and e2e tests.

Nice cheatsheet, in particular the things where a lot of confusion exist.
However, I have some small suggestions for approvement:
– The code example contain some typos (executes -> execute, horzioncontroller)
– jasmine is a testing framework for all kinds of tests. You could better give e2e/unit examples like karma and protractor (or some Java equivalents).
Nice cheatsheet, but it seems to contain an error:
with three layers, each layer having a possibility of 5 flows, to test all the paths through
the entire application would require 5^3 end-to-end tests, not 53. Probably a copy error 🙂
