Develop with quality

Create rock-solid products with Ubuntu's Quality Assurance tools.

Users demand stable, reliable and bug-free scopes and apps. With Ubuntu, developers can satisfy those needs and ensure their software is regression- free and thoroughly tested release after release.

A well-tested application will cover all the levels of the testing pyramid and provide many more low-level unit tests than high level end-to-end tests running through a GUI. Ubuntu has you covered on all levels.

Unit tests

Unit tests are the foundation of a good testing story for your application. Tests cover a single unit of code with known input and expected output. Unit tests ensure your methods and logic perform as expected in isolation.

For scope developers

• Write your first scope unit test
• Scopes testing API reference

For QML app developers

• Write your first QML unit test
• Ubuntu Test components API reference

For HTML5 app developers

• Write your first HTML5 unit test
• Jasmine API reference

Integration tests

Integration tests help ensure any custom components work well with the application and the SDK. It's also a chance to test any external dependencies for an application.

The Ubuntu Test components and the Qt Test framework are well suited for writing integration tests.

For QML app developers

• Write your first QML integration test
• Ubuntu Test components API reference

Functional tests

Functional or acceptance tests help ensure your application behaves properly from a user perspective. The tests seek to mimic the user as closely as possible. Autopilot is the recommended tool for testing.

• Get started with the Autopilot tutorial
• Guide to the page object model for functional testing
• Autopilot API reference
• Running Autopilot Tests

For scope developers

• Writing scope functional tests
• Scopes Testing Harness API

For QML app developers

• Write your first Autopilot test
• Autopilot SDK helpers API reference

For HTML5 app developers

• Writing HTML5 functional tests
• Selenium API
