Chapter 18: Testing Functional Programs

In this section

• Benefits of Testing in Functional Programming
  Explore the advantages of testing in functional programming, focusing on predictability, simplified test cases, refactoring, documentation, and quality assurance.
• Mastering Unit Testing in Clojure with `clojure.test`
  Explore the essentials of unit testing in Clojure using the `clojure.test` framework. Learn to write, organize, and run tests effectively to ensure robust and reliable functional programs.
• Mastering Property-Based Testing with `test.check` in Clojure
  Explore the power of property-based testing in Clojure using `test.check`. Learn to define generators, write properties, and leverage shrinking for effective testing.
• Testing Pure Functions Effectively in Clojure
  Master the art of testing pure functions in Clojure, focusing on strategies like test coverage, equivalence classes, idempotence, and commutativity, with practical examples and tools.
• Testing Side Effects and State in Clojure: Approaches and Best Practices
  Explore comprehensive strategies for testing side effects and state in Clojure applications, including mocking, state verification, and time-based testing.
• Integration Testing Strategies for Functional Programming in Clojure
  Explore comprehensive integration testing strategies in Clojure, focusing on real components, Dockerized environments, end-to-end testing, and CI/CD integration.
• Automating Tests with CI/CD Tools for Clojure Projects
  Explore the benefits and setup of automated testing in Clojure projects using CI/CD tools. Learn about test reporting, handling failures, and securing pipelines.
• Mocking and Stubbing in Clojure Tests for Functional Programming
  Explore the concepts of mocking and stubbing in Clojure tests, learn how to use `with-redefs` for temporary function redefinition, and understand the implications of testing side effects in functional programming.
