Unit Testing

Summary

Unit testing is a software testing method in which individual components of a program are tested to validate their correctness.

Detailed Description

Unit testing focuses on testing individual components or functions of software to ensure they perform as expected. Each test case is responsible for verifying a single aspect of the unit's functionality. Unit tests are typically written by developers in the same programming language as the software. This testing process helps identify bugs and issues early in the development cycle and improves software quality, maintainability, and design.
