| Jun 6, 2016 at 13:42 | comment | added | JeffO | This would be a lot easier to test if you passed a person object as the parameter. | |
| Jun 6, 2016 at 13:36 | comment | added | RubberDuck | Not to mention the cases of 0 and -1. What does it mean for a person to be -1 years old? What should your code do if your API returns something nonsensical? | |
| Jun 6, 2016 at 10:54 | comment | added | David Arno | @FilipBartuzi, I assume the method is checking whether a male is over 21 for example? As currently written, it doesn't do that, it is only true if they are 22+. "Over 21" in English though means "21+". So there is a bug in your code. Such bugs are captured by testing boundary values, ie 20, 21, 22 for a male, 17,18,19 for a female in this case. So at least six tests are needed. | |

| Jun 6, 2016 at 10:48 | comment | added | David Arno | Only four tests? You have six boundary ages you should be testing: 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22... ;) | |

| Jun 6, 2016 at 10:45 | comment | added | Chris Wohlert | Well, one of the points is, that by mocking / unit-testing it, you can isolate any problems to your code. If an integration test fails, you are unaware as to whose code is broken, yours, or the API. | |
