Software development testing is incredibly important. If there is no testing, the software
may not work the way it is intended and there could be huge security risks. Four important
levels of testing for software development are unit testing, integration testing, systems testing,
and acceptance testing. Each of these testing levels have an important purpose and should be
used on any software development project. These testing levels also relate to one another in
order to help a software development project work as intended. If a product is not tested and
debugged thoroughly, there could be an ethical dilemma when the product is released if there are
issues with it.
Unit testing is the execution of a complete class, routine, or small program that has been
written by either one programmer or a team of programmers and is tested in isolation from the
more complete system (McConnell, 2004). Unit testing is also known as the first step of testing
(Educba, n.d.). The program is submitted to assessments which focus on units, or small
components, of the software in order to make sure everything is completely functional (Pearson,
2015). Unit testing isolates each part of the software and is performed at the earliest stages of
the development process (Eriksson, 2014). It is usually performed by the developers (Guru99,
n.d.).During this stage, the white box method is typically used (O’Doherty, 2018). The steps
involved in unit testing include preparing a unit test plan, having unit test cases, and executing
the unit testing (Educba, n.d.).
The purpose of unit testing is to determine if an application functions correctly, or as
designed (Pearson, 2015). Also, unit testing determines if the program works as intended and if
it fulfills the specified requirements (Educba, n.d.). This first level of testing is important
because if the application does not function as intended, it is likely that it will never function as
intended on deployment. A benefit of unit testing is that it can be run each time a part of the
