The Hidden Cost of Skipping Unit Tests

Catch Bugs Early

Finding bugs during development is 10x cheaper than fixing them in production. Unit tests catch issues immediately, when the context is fresh and fixes are simpler.

Prevent Regressions

Unit tests act as a safety net, preventing new changes from breaking existing functionality and saving you hours of tedious debugging.

Improve Code Design

Writing testable code forces you to create modular, loosely coupled components with clear responsibilities – leading to better architecture and maintainability.

Enable Confident Refactoring

A robust test suite lets you refactor your code without fear – clean up technical debt, improve performance, and modernize your codebase with confidence.

Serve as Documentation

Well-written tests document exactly how your code should work, simplifying onboarding and reducing knowledge silos across your team.

Enable Continuous Integration

Unit tests form the backbone of CI/CD pipelines, automatically validating code changes so you can deploy with confidence and speed.

OUR MISSION

The Time-Saving Benefits of Unit Tests

We've designed our curriculum to help developers understand that while unit tests require an upfront investment of time, they save significantly more time in the long run. Our approach focuses on practical, efficient testing techniques that maximize ROI.

Unit tests save you time when...

You're trying to track down a regression bug that could have been caught immediately with a test

Your team needs to onboard new developers who can quickly understand code behavior by reviewing tests

You need to refactor complex code without the fear of breaking existing functionality

You're implementing new features and need a safety net to ensure seamless integration with existing code

You want to avoid the exponentially higher cost of fixing bugs in production compared to catching them during development

“After going through all the lessons, I gained the necessary skills to perform well at my on-sites. I crushed even the DP problems, which were my biggest fear. And thanks to that I landed offers from Microsoft and Uber. Thank you AlgoCademy!”

Cristina Radulescu

Senior Software Engineer at Uber

“AlgoCademy really helped me improve my problem solving skills and write incredibly clean code. I was worried it wouldn’t be done in time for my coding interviews, but the way the curriculum is structured made me progress very quickly. Thanks for your work!”

Connor Holland

Software Engineer at Vanguard

“Wow. I’ve been using AlgoCademy for a while and now I can finally solve coding questions on my own. This gave me the confidence I needed for my interviews, and guess what? I landed the offer at Samsung! You guys truly kick ass. High fives!”

Ankit Kumar

Software Engineer at Samsung

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about unit testing? We’ve got answers for you...

Will this course help me implement effective unit tests?

Yes! The content is designed to cover everything you might encounter when writing unit tests. We begin with the fundamentals and progress to advanced techniques that ensure your code is robust, reliable, and maintainable.

I've never used unit tests before. Is this course beginner friendly?

Beginners welcome! While we assume you have a basic understanding of programming, you don’t need any prior experience with unit testing. Our lessons guide you step by step toward proficiency.

Is all of the course content available immediately or is it drip-fed?

No drip-feeding here! You get full access to every module right away. Jump in and start mastering unit testing immediately – plus enjoy regular updates as we expand the curriculum.

Do I need to be proficient in a specific programming language to benefit from this course?

You don’t need expertise in any one language. Our focus is on the principles of effective unit testing, presented in a language-agnostic way so that you can apply the concepts to any programming environment.

Why should I invest in unit testing training today instead of later?

Every day you delay means more time spent troubleshooting avoidable issues. Our course equips you with the ability to write tests that save you hours, reduce debugging hassles, and improve overall code quality – so why wait?

Is investing in unit test training really worth it?

When you compare the cost of addressing bugs in production versus catching them early through unit tests, the benefits are clear. Robust unit testing cuts debugging time dramatically and builds confidence in your code – an investment that pays off over and over.
