Node Test Runner & Integration Tests

Node.jsLesson 17

What you'll walk away with

  • Explain the event-loop and resource behavior of Node Test Runner & Integration Tests
  • Test failure and concurrency cases
  • Write secure, testable Node.js

Build Node Test Runner & Integration Tests as a production boundary with validation, least privilege, structured errors and logs, health checks, timeouts, tests, and graceful shutdown. Never log secrets and keep the supported LTS patched.

Build a Complete Mental Model

Build Node Test Runner & Integration Tests as a production boundary with validation, least privilege, structured errors and logs, health checks, timeouts, tests, and graceful shutdown. Never log secrets and keep the supported LTS patched.

Apply It in Production Node.js

Test an original Node Test Runner & Integration Tests example with concurrent requests, malformed input, timeouts, cancellation, missing configuration, dependency failure, and shutdown. Check for blocking I/O, leaked handles, and unhandled rejections.

After This Lesson

javascript
import test from 'node:test';
import assert from 'node:assert/strict';
import { add } from './math.js';
test('adds two values', () => assert.equal(add(2, 3), 5));
You should see
1 test passed

Try It Yourself

Test an original Node Test Runner & Integration Tests example with concurrent requests, malformed input, timeouts, cancellation, missing configuration, dependency failure, and shutdown. Check for blocking I/O, leaked handles, and unhandled rejections.

Runtime Warning

Assuming a local happy path proves concurrency, timeout, security, and shutdown paths.

Test RunnerNode.js

Easy traps

  • Assuming a local happy path proves concurrency, timeout, security, and shutdown paths.
  • Putting synchronous I/O or CPU-heavy work on a request path.

Hands-on Exercise

Test an original Node Test Runner & Integration Tests example with concurrent requests, malformed input, timeouts, cancellation, missing configuration, dependency failure, and shutdown. Check for blocking I/O, leaked handles, and unhandled rejections.

You'll know it worked when: 1 test passed
