Techniques

This outline describes the tools and methods used to identify and fix errors within the codebase.

Testing

• Unit Tests: These tests are used to verify the correctness of individual functions and components. Each function is tested in isolation, ensuring it performs as expected in all scenarios.

  • Example: src/test/java/com/example/demo/DemoApplicationTests.java

• Integration Tests: Integration tests verify the interactions between different components of the application. This ensures that the components work together as expected.

  • Example: src/test/java/com/example/demo/controller/RecipeControllerTest.java

• End-to-End Tests: End-to-end tests simulate user interactions with the application. These tests are used to verify the overall functionality of the application from the user’s perspective.

  • Example: src/test/java/com/example/demo/controller/RecipeControllerTest.java

Debugging

• Logging: Logging statements are used to track the flow of execution within the code. This information is valuable for diagnosing errors and understanding the behavior of the application.

  • Example: src/main/java/com/example/demo/service/RecipeService.java

• Debugging Tools: Integrated development environments (IDEs) provide powerful debugging tools that allow developers to step through code, inspect variables, and analyze call stacks.

  • Example: src/main/java/com/example/demo/service/RecipeService.java

• Code Review: Having another developer review the code can help identify potential errors and improve code quality.

  • Example: src/main/java/com/example/demo/controller/RecipeController.java

Code Quality

• Code Style: The codebase follows established coding conventions for consistency and readability.

• Code Complexity: Code complexity is managed through the use of design patterns, modularization, and other techniques.

• Static Analysis: Static analysis tools are used to identify potential errors, security vulnerabilities, and code smells.

  • Example: pom.xml - The pom.xml file defines the dependencies used in the project. These include various tools used to analyze the code for vulnerabilities.
