, developers can create and combine unit, functional, and integration tests of a program or a group of programs.

  • Virtualized Test, or Unit Test, is used to isolate the program by virtualizing external calls and data access and making assertions on internal states of the program.
  • Non-virtualized Test, or Functional Test, is used for testing the program running live on the real system.
  • Integration Test is used to test the interaction between two or more programs.

By combining unit, functional, and integration tests, developers are assured of having a regression test suite that covers all possible failure scenarios. Automated testing significantly accelerates the testing process and enables IT to put regular code updates into production at a pace necessary for fast, frequent, and error-free releases.
