Why You Should Stop Doing Unit and Integration Testing - Embrace Modular Testing Instead!In this episode, I challenge conventional testing methods and present a new approach—modular testing. I argue against traditional unit, integration, and system end-to-end testing, highlighting their inefficiencies and complexities. Instead, I introduce modular testing, where the focus is on testing only the external API of a module. This method aligns with good modular design principles and significantly reduces test maintenance effort. By testing just the API, the process becomes simpler, more agile, and scalable. I provide insights into the five essential elements of modular design and discuss how modular testing can enhance overall software quality while keeping testing efforts manageable.00:00 Introduction to Automated Testing01:03 Standard Testing - A Review01:43 Unit Testing03:06 Integration Testing04:57 System Testing06:59 Modular Testing08:25 Modular Design Recap12:11 Benefits of Modular Testing16:30 Modular Testing IS Unit Testing, but better...18:40 Modular Testing IS Integration Testing, but better...22:46 System Testing?
