Task 4: Use Unit Testing to Verify Parts of the Job Class

The solution currently contains a testing project called TechJobs.Tests. If you open this project, you will find a class called JobTests You will need to add the appropriate dependency to TechJobs.Tests to test the classes in the TechJobsOO project. The JobTests file will hold all of the tests for the `Job

Initial Setup

Inside JobTests,

1. Delete the TestMethod test.
2. Initialize 4 job objects starting at line 7. This will save you a lot of time while creating your unit tests.

//Testing objects
Job job1 = new Job();

Job job2 = new Job();

Job job3 = new Job("Product tester", new Employer("ACME"), new Location("Desert"), new PositionType("Quality control"), new CoreCompetency("Persistence"));

Job job4 = new Job("Product tester", new Employer("ACME"), new Location("Desert"), new PositionType("Quality control"), new CoreCompetency("Persistence"));

You can now use these testing objects in your unit tests.

Test the Empty Constructor

Each Job object should contain a unique ID number, and these should also be sequential integers.

1. In JobTests, define a test called TestSettingJobId.
2. Using job1 and job2, compare two empty constructor Job objects. Use Assert.AreEqual, Assert.IsTrue, or Assert.IsFalse to test that the ID values for the two objects are NOT the same and differ by 1.
   1. How could you compare Id numbers?
   2. How could you test the incrementing amount?
3. Run the test to verify that your Job() constructor correctly assigns ID numbers.
4. If the test doesn’t pass, what should be your first thought?
   1. “I need to fix the unit test.”
   2. “I need to fix my Job() constructor code.”

Test the Full Constructor

Each Job object should contain six properties—Id, Name, EmployerName, EmployerLocation, JobType, and JobCoreCompetency.

1. In JobTest, define a test called TestJobConstructorSetsAllFields.
2. Select one of the Job objects with the full constructor to test that the object is assigned the correct properties.
3. Use Assert statements to test that the constructor correctly assigns the value of each field as follows:
   1. "Product tester" for Name
   2. "ACME" for EmployerName
   3. "Desert" for JobLocation
   4. "Quality control" for JobType
   5. "Persistence" for JobCoreCompetency

Test the Equals() Method

Two Job objects are considered equal if they have the same id value, even if one or more of the other fields differ. Similarly, the two objects are NOT equal if their id values differ, even if all the other fields are identical.

1. In JobTest, define a test called TestJobsForEquality.
2. Select any of the two Job objects. Test that Equals() returns false.

It might seem logical to follow up the false case by testing to make sure that Equals() returns true when two objects have the same ID. However, the positive test is irrelevant in this case.

The way you build your Job class, each id field gets assigned a unique value, and the class does not contain a setter for the id field. You also verified that each new object gets a different ID when you tested the constructors. Without modifying the constructors or adding a setter, there is no scenario in which two different jobs will have the same ID number. Thus, we can skip the test for this condition.

Run TestTask4 tests

Uncomment the tests inside the TestTask4class. Look for the TODOs to help you find the multi-line comments marks.

Run your TestTask4 unit tests.

Refactor your code as needed.

Do not start Task 5 until you have passed all of Task 4’s auto-grading unit tests.

On to Task 5 .
