--In this fundamental, we will explore the various testing functionalities available within the eMagiz portal. We will delve into different types of testing, including unit testing, regression testing, performance testing, and end-to-end testing, and discuss how these testing methods are integrated within the eMagiz platform. Let's dive into the details of each testing method and understand how they can be effectively applied to ensure the efficiency and reliability of your integrations.
++In this fundamental we discuss different testing methods available in software development and discuss how these methods can be used and/or implanted within the platform. Testing in eMagiz can already be done within the Create phase and within deployed integrations via the Deploy and Manage phases. After reading this fundamental you should be able to understand the concepts of different testing methods and how these are incorporated within the eMagiz platform.
  Should you have any questions, please get in touch with [[academy@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].

--Here we will investigate the testing functionality incorporated within the eMagiz portal. We will focus on different aspects of testing that can be executed at different moments within the development of your integrations. We cover four different types of testing that are part of software testing in general and explain them on a conceptual level. For each test, we also discuss how those are integrated within the portal and where to find further explanations on applying those tests within eMagiz.

--=== 3.1 Unit testing ===
++=== 3.1 Unit Testing ===
--Unit testing is a common practice within software platforms. Usually, developers perform unit tests during development. It entails testing individual integrations or the components within an integration, such as transformations or mappings. The unit test aims to test early within the development process to identify and fix issues early before they become more complex and costly to find and solve.

--Within eMagiz, we have a dedicated unit testing functionality called "flow testing." One of the key benefits of flow testing is that your integration does not have to be deployed. Therefore, findings can be easily implemented during development. eMagiz supports live testing of certain components to test communication with external systems. More information on flow tests can be found in the following microlearnings:

  === 3.2 Regression Testing ===

  Another testing method used within software development is regression testing. Regression tests ensure that existing functionality is not impacted by newly developed functionality. Running these tests is crucial to preventing unexpected negative changes for customers. Regression tests can be applied on different levels, from individual functionality to the whole platform.
--The main functionality within the eMagiz platform to perform regression testing on your integrations is called "Automated flow testing." There is an option to automate every flow test. When a flow test is automated, it will run all automated flow tests once a new version is committed. If the test fails, you will be notified of the flow level and get an overview of the result on release activation. More information can be found in the microlearning:

--=== 3.3 Performance Testing ===
++==== 3.3 Performance Testing ====
--A third method for testing is the performance test. Within a performance test, not the content is important but the amount of load you test on your test subject. In the case of integrations, it means, in general, the number of messages sent over a certain integration. Normally, your production environment handles more load than a test or acceptance environment. With a performance test, you can estimate how much impact a new integration has on resources, such as CPU or memory usage of the runtimes within your environment.

--=== 3.4 End-To-End Testing ===
--
--The last testing option discussed in this fundamental is a user acceptance test or End-to-End test. In this test, not only developers or testers but also end-users or other people from the business side are involved. Therefore, this testing method is more functionally focused than the previously discussed tests. A User Acceptance test aims to let the business (users) accept the solution created. Normally, this is the last step before pushing the solution to production.

  == 4. Key takeaways ==
--* There are different testing methods with different goals
--* Not every testing method can be done at any stage of development
--* For every testing method, eMagiz has documentation and when possible features to support testing
++* Each eMagiz model has a standard Manage phase in which statistics are kept on your environment
++* With these statistics, you can determine whether messages have been received by and sent by eMagiz
++* This functionality does not allow you to see the content of the messages itself
++* On top of that, eMagiz offers Data Sink and long term Archiving as additional licensed features
++* Data sink is helpful for an Ops scenario to check whether a specific message is processed by eMagiz (Traceability)
++* Long term archiving is helpful for legal purposes as it gives you the option to prove for seven years that a specific message is sent at a specific time (Compliancy)
