1. Unit Testing LEVEL GAME

2.  Create pieces array  Call move or interact  Use getters or return type to verify correct behavior  Test ends (don’t go GameEngine.BOARD_SIZE-1)  If interact with adjoining piece, put that piece & yours on board  If interact within range, be sure to test locations within range PLUS one beyond TEST INDIVIDUAL PIECES

3.  Can’t test random behavior deterministically  Need to run method multiple times  Do all possible results actually occur?  Do the possible results account for ALL results? (i.e., no invalid moves)  What if LOTS of valid results? (e.g., any location)  Test ends  Identify “categories” of possibilities  If limited number of possibilities, test each one  E.g., move one to right or left TEST RANDOM MOVEMENT

4.  What if the player is within “range” of more than one piece?  We’re not testing this, but the approach would be:  Create a GameEngine  Create a pieces array  Add a setter to GameEngine for the pieces array  Call interaction TEST INTERACTION

5. BLACK BOX VS WHITE BOX CriteriaBlack Box TestingWhite Box Testing Definition Black Box Testing is a software testing method in which the internal structure/ design/ implementation of the item being tested is NOT known to the tester White Box Testing is a software testing method in which the internal structure/ design/ implementation of the item being tested is known to the tester.
