7.6 Summary
IDEA
has very close and natural support for
JU
nit, a technology for automated
unit testing that's quickly and pervasively being adopted by the industry. Auto-
mated unit testing is a common-sense practice to ensure software quality, and it's
a cornerstone practice that underpins the agile software development movement
and the goal of continuous integration. Continuous integration invites many
changes early and often. Unit testing with
IDEA
and its
JU
nit support provides
the easiest means for you to write, manage, and run these unit tests, and to inter-
pret the results of their output so that bugs are identified and fixed. As an appli-
cation moves forward, this is the easiest way to keep abreast of continual changes.
