In this tutorial, you will learn about Rust Testing Advanced. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices to help you master this topic.
Rust advanced testing includes integration tests in tests/, benchmarks with criterion, property-based testing with proptest, and mocking with mockall.
What You'll Learn
- Integration tests
- Benchmarking with criterion
- Property-based testing
- Mocking
Why It Matters
Advanced testing catches subtle bugs. Firefox uses property-based testing for CSS Parsing. DodaZIP benchmarks compression performance.
Real-World Use
Security Testing, performance regression detection, API Contract Testing.
[dev-dependencies]
criterion = "0.5"
proptest = "1.0"
mockall = "0.11"
[[bench]]
name = "my_bench"
harness = false
// Integration test in tests/api_test.rs
use myapp;
#[test]
fn test_create_user() {
// Tests the public API through its interface
let result = myapp::create_user("alice@test.com");
assert!(result.is_ok());
}
// Benchmark
use criterion::{black_box, criterion_group, criterion_main, Criterion};
fn fibonacci(n: u64) -> u64 {
match n { 0 => 0, 1 => 1, _ => fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2) }
}
fn bench_fib(c: &mut Criterion) {
c.bench_function("fib 20", |b| b.iter(|| fibonacci(black_box(20))));
}
criterion_group!(benches, bench_fib);
criterion_main!(benches);
// Property-based testing
proptest! {
#[test]
fn test_reverse_roundtrip(s: String) {
let reversed: String = s.chars().rev().collect();
let double_reversed: String = reversed.chars().rev().collect();
assert_eq!(s, double_reversed);
}
