Puma Testing: Unit and Integration Tests for Web Server Components

The Puma web server repository showcases a comprehensive testing approach combining unit and integration testing methodologies. Using JUnit as the primary testing framework, the test suite includes 56 test files covering critical functionality like error logging, server operations, socket handling, and application status management. The testing strategy emphasizes thorough validation of both isolated components and end-to-end server behaviors. Qodo Tests Hub provides developers with deep insights into Puma's testing patterns, offering interactive exploration of test implementations across different components. Through the platform, developers can analyze how Puma handles complex scenarios like hot restarts, chunked transfers, and HTTP communication, learning from real-world testing practices implemented in a production-grade web server. The test examples serve as practical references for implementing robust server testing strategies.
