Types of Tests

• Unit Tests
• E2E Tests

• Acceptance Tests

• Smoke Tests

  • They are used to check whether the code can start.
  • They can be used in the four following cases:
    • As a pre-commit Git Hook before local commits
    • In CI before E2E and acceptance tests
    • Before Deployment (infra and configs)
    • After deployment (functionality checks)

• Manual Tests

  • Exploratory Testing

• Regression Tests - after fixing a bug to see it does not repeat

• System Tests - like integration tests, but dependencies are mocked or stubbed
• Integration Tests - inter-operation tests
• Pre-flight check - acceptance/smoke tests in prod
