[All Databricks-Certified-Professional-Data-Engineer Questions]

A data engineer is testing a collection of mathematical functions, one of which calculates the area under a curve as described by another function.

Which kind of the test does the above line exemplify?

AIntegration

BUnit

CManual

Dfunctional

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

A unit test is designed to verify the correctness of a small, isolated piece of code, typically a single function. Testing a mathematical function that calculates the area under a curve is an example of a unit test because it is testing a specific, individual function to ensure it operates as expected.

Functional test, definitely. I mean, they're testing the behavior of the function, not its individual components. Plus, who needs manual testing when you've got math on your side?

Ha! I bet the data engineer is really hoping the exam doesn't ask them to 'show their work' on this one. That would be a real integration-al challenge, am I right? *wink wink*

Hmm, I'm not so sure. It could be a Unit test if they're testing a specific mathematical function in isolation. But then again, the 'area under a curve' bit does sound more like an Integration test to me.

Obviously, the test they're describing is Integration. I mean, calculating the area under a curve? That's like Integration 101, right?

Yes, you're right. Calculating the area under a curve is definitely Integration.
