Passingbased

Passingbased refers to a type of software testing where the success or failure of a test case is determined by a specific outcome or value, rather than the mere execution of code. In this approach, a test is considered "passed" if it produces the expected result and "failed" otherwise. This contrasts with tests that might only check for program crashes or the absence of errors.

The core concept of passingbased testing is the assertion. Assertions are statements within a test that check if a condition is true. For example, an assertion might verify that a variable holds a certain value, that a function returns a specific output for given inputs, or that a UI element is displayed correctly. If an assertion evaluates to false, the test fails, indicating a defect in the software.

This methodology is fundamental to many testing frameworks, including unit testing, integration testing, and end-to-end testing. It allows developers and testers to systematically verify the correctness of software components and their interactions. By defining clear expectations for behavior, passingbased tests provide objective feedback on the quality of the code. The results of these tests are typically reported in a clear pass/fail format, facilitating rapid identification and resolution of issues.
