Flutter Integration Test: Model Driven Architecture

A structural guide to model driven integration testing to validate the entire Flutter app along with the backend APIs.

What you'll learn

Model Driven Integration or End-to-End Test.

Powerful architecture to structure the tests.

The concept of base screen to organise the tests.

To build tester extensions for repeatitive actions.

To run and examine integration test on multiple platforms.

Requirements

You should have built at least one app using Flutter & Dart.

No prior app testing experience required.

Description

Welcome!The world of hybrid app development is growing at a rapid pace and Flutter has made this experience pleasant. This rapid growth of technology in building cross-platform applications using single codebase has made it easy for rivals to compete. And that is not where it ends, to stay in the game in a highly competitive market, providing a highly reliable and bug free user experience is crucial for the growth of the app. This is where this course comes in, with this course you will master how to write a model driven integration tests (also e2e test) that validates your entire app including the backend APIs from the user's perspective.In order to fully qualify for this course you must have built at least one Flutter app. And since this test does not restrict you to use any specify state management package or API architecture type, you will be able to apply the concept of the model driven test to any kind of Flutter project out there. To achieve this you will be provided with a production ready Flutter app and a built-in backend server to help you with the learning. And at the end of this course you will be asked to complete practice exercises to help you wrap up everything you have learned here.Primarily, the purpose of this course is to give you the confidence you need to publish every new release without having any doubts of encountering bugs in the production. Implementing this test will allow you to modify your code including your backend APIs without any worries as it has the capability to pinpoint exact location of any identified issues found in the system after making changes to the source code. This course is not just teaching you how to write an integration test but also how to structure it in a scalable manner. This way you will be able to ensure that your existing features are working as expected along with the current new changes with every new app updates.And at last, the final outcome of this model driven integration test is that, you can make every new release almost 99% error free. This is because integration test has the ability to validate almost every features of your app. So if this is what you want to achieve for your project then enroll with this course and lets dive in.
