tracked by code coverage, plus enough integration tests |
to cover all the important use cases. this advice is based on |
the fact that there are trade-offs between different kinds of testing, |
seen below. |
<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
unit tests |
a unit test tests a single function, method, or class. |
the goal of a unit test is to verify the correctness of a |
unit of logic under a variety of conditions. |
external dependencies of the unit under test are generally |
mocked out. |
unit tests generally don’t read from or write |
to disk, render to screen, or receive user actions from |
outside the process running the test. |
for more information regarding unit tests, |
you can view the following recipes |
or run flutter test --help in your terminal. |
info note |
if you’re writing unit tests for code that |
uses plugins and you want to avoid crashes, |
check out plugins in flutter tests. |
if you want to test your flutter plugin, |
check out testing plugins. |

widget tests |
a widget test (in other UI frameworks referred to as component test) |
tests a single widget. the goal of a widget test is to verify that the |
widget’s UI looks and interacts as expected. testing a widget involves |
multiple classes and requires a test environment that provides the |
appropriate widget lifecycle context. |
for example, the widget being tested should be able to receive and |
respond to user actions and events, perform layout, and instantiate child |
widgets. a widget test is therefore more comprehensive than a unit test. |
however, like a unit test, a widget test’s environment is replaced with |
an implementation much simpler than a full-blown UI system. |

integration tests |
an integration test tests a complete app or a large part of an app. |
the goal of an integration test is to verify that all the widgets |
and services being tested work together as expected. |
furthermore, you can use integration |
tests to verify your app’s performance. |
generally, an integration test runs on a real device or an OS emulator, |
such as iOS simulator or android emulator. |
the app under test is typically isolated |
from the test driver code to avoid skewing the results. |
for more information on how to write integration tests, see the integration |
testing page. |

continuous integration services |
continuous integration (ci) services allow you to run your |
tests automatically when pushing new code changes. |
this provides timely feedback on whether the code |
changes work as expected and do not introduce bugs. |
for information on running tests on various continuous |
integration services, see the following: |

an introduction to unit testing |
how can you ensure that your app continues to work as you |
add more features or change existing functionality? |
by writing tests. |
unit tests are handy for verifying the behavior of a single function, |
method, or class. the test package provides the |
core framework for writing unit tests, and the flutter_test |
package provides additional utilities for testing widgets. |
this recipe demonstrates the core features provided by the test package |
using the following steps: |
for more information about the test package, |
see the test package documentation. |

1. add the test dependency |
the test package provides the core functionality for |
writing tests in dart. this is the best approach when |
writing packages consumed by web, server, and flutter apps. |
to add the test package as a dev dependency, |
run flutter pub add: |
