In this post, I’ll go over 5 essential types of testing for your AEM projects. 👇

1. Unit Testing

🔹 Verifying the functionality of individual components such as Sling Models and OSGi services.

🔹 We use JUnit and Mockito to isolate logic and prevent errors in the early stages of development.

2. Integration Testing

🔹 Testing the interaction between different system components, such as with external APIs and databases.

🔹 Helps identify integration issues during actual component interaction.

3. Functional Testing

🔹 Checking content rendering, user authentication, and UI elements.

🔹 We use Selenium or Cypress to simulate user actions and validate their correctness.

4. Load Testing

🔹 Testing system performance under high traffic to ensure it can handle load without losing speed or stability.

🔹 Using JMeter, we simulate load scenarios and measure response times.

5. Security Testing

🔹 Checking the system for vulnerabilities like SQL injections and data leaks.

🔹 We use SonarQube and OWASP ZAP for security audits and risk prevention.
