About Unit Testing
Unit
testing is a type of software testing where individual units or
components of the software are tested. The purpose is to validate that each
unit of the software code performs as expected. Unit Testing is done
during the development (coding phase) of an application by the
developers. Unit Tests isolate a section of code and verify its
correctness. A unit may be an individual function, method, procedure,
module, or object.

• Helps in identifying and fixing the bugs at the early stage of the SDLC process
• Assures to reduce the cost as bugs are resolved at the earliest
• Helps the developers to improve the design by allowing refactoring of the code
• Assures in simplifying the debugging process
•
With the proper unit testing practice, components that are integrated
after the build can assure in achieving a quality product
