Testing SuiteScript

SuiteScript testing uses Jest for unit tests and integration tests.

Introduction to SuiteScript Testing

SuiteScript is a powerful tool for customizing and automating NetSuite applications. To ensure the reliability and performance of your SuiteScript code, testing is essential. Jest, a popular JavaScript testing framework, is commonly used for unit testing and integration testing of SuiteScript. This post will guide you through setting up Jest for SuiteScript testing, writing tests, and best practices.

Setting Up Jest for SuiteScript Testing

To start using Jest for testing SuiteScript, you need to configure your development environment. This involves installing Jest and creating a configuration file.

Writing Unit Tests for SuiteScript

Unit tests focus on testing individual functions or components in isolation. Here's how you can write unit tests for your SuiteScript code using Jest.

Integration Testing with Jest

Integration tests are designed to test how different parts of your SuiteScript application work together. They can be more complex as they involve multiple components.

Best Practices for SuiteScript Testing

When testing SuiteScript, adhere to the following best practices to ensure your tests are effective and maintainable:

  • Mock External Dependencies: Use Jest's mocking capabilities to simulate NetSuite modules and external dependencies.
  • Test Coverage: Aim for high test coverage to catch potential issues early.
  • Keep Tests Atomic: Write small, focused tests that are easy to understand.
  • Continuous Integration: Integrate your tests into a CI/CD pipeline to automate testing and deployment.
