대역의 필요성 테스트를 작성하다 보면 외부 요인이 필요한 시점이 있다. 다음은 외부 요인이 테스트에 관여하는 주요 예이다. 테스트 대상에서 파일 시스템을 사용 테스트 대상에서 DB로부터 데이터를 조회하거나 데이터를 추가 테스트 대상에서 외부의 HTTP 서버와 통신 테스트 대상이 이런 외부 요인에 의존하면 테스트를 작성하고 실행하기 어려워진다. 테스트 대상 코드에서 사용하는 외부 API 서버가 일시적으로 장애가 나면 테스트를 원활하게 수행할수 없다. 내부에서 사용하는 DB라도 상황에 맞게 데이터를 구성하는 것이 항상 가능한 것은 아니다. 자동이체 기능을 예로 들어보자. 이 기능은 외부 업체가 제공하는 API를 이용해서 카드번호가 유효한지 확인하고 그 결과에 따라 자동이체 정보를 등록한다. 이 기능을 테스트하려면 정상 카드번호, 도난 카드번호, 만료일이 지난 카드번호가 필요하기 때문에 외부 업체에서 상황별로 테스트할 수 있는 카드번호를 받아와야 한다. TDD는 "테스트 작성 — 통과시킬 만큼 구현 → 리팩토링"의 과정을 짧은 흐름으로 반복해야 하는데 외부 업체에서 상황별 카드번호를 제공하지 않으면 테스트를 진행할 수 없게 된다. 외부 요인은 테스트 작성을 어렵게 만들 뿐만 아니라 테스트 결과도 예측할 수 없게 만든다. 예를 들어 카드 정보 검사 대행업체에서 테스트할 때 사용하라고 제공한 카드번호의 유효 기간이 한 달 뒤일 수 있다. 이 카드번호를 사용해서 성공한 자동이체 정보 등록 기능 테스트는 한 달 뒤에 유효 기간 만료로 실패하게 된다. 테스트에서는 외부 요인으로 인해 테스트가 어려울 때 외부 요인을 대신하는 대역이 외부 요인을 대신해서 테스트에 참여한다. 영어로 된 테스트 관련 글을 읽으면 test double이란 표현이 자주 나오는데 여기서 double은 본 장에서 설명하는 대역에 해당한다. 즉, test double은 테스트에서 진짜 대신 사용할 대역을 의미한다. 대역을 이용한 테스트 public class StubCardNumberValidator extends CardNumberValidator { private String invalidNo; private String theftNo; public void setInvalidNo(String invalidNo) { this.invalidNo = invalidNo; } public void setTheftNo(String theftNo) { this.theftNo = theftNo; } @Override public CardValidity validate(String cardNumber) { if (invalidNo != null && invalidNo.equals(cardNumber)) { return CardValidity.INVALID; } if (theftNo != null && theftNo.equals(cardNumber)) { return CardValidity.THEFT; } return CardValidity.VALID; } } public class AutoDebitRegister_Stub_Test { private AutoDebitRegister register; private StubCardNumberValidator stubValidator; private StubAutoDebitInfoRepository stubRepository; @BeforeEach void setUp() { stubValidator = new StubCardNumberValidator(); stubRepository = new StubAutoDebitInfoRepository(); register = new AutoDebitRegister(stubValidator, stubRepository); } @Test void invalidCard() { stubValidator.setInvalidNo("111122223333"); AutoDebitReq req = new AutoDebitReq("user1", "111122223333"); RegisterResult result = this.register.register(req); assertEquals(INVALID, result.getValidity()); } @Test void theftCard() { stubValidator.setTheftNo("1234567890123456"); AutoDebitReq req = new AutoDebitReq("user1", "1234567890123456"); RegisterResult result = this.register.register(req); assertEquals(CardValidity.THEFT, result.getValidity()); } @Test void validCard() { AutoDebitReq req = new AutoDebitReq("user1", "1234123412341234"); RegisterResult result = this.register.register(req); assertEquals(VALID, result.getValidity()); } } public interface AutoDebitInfoRepository { void save(AutoDebitInfo info); AutoDebitInfo findOne(String userId); } public class MemoryAutoDebitInfoRepository implements AutoDebitInfoRepository { private Map<String, AutoDebitInfo> infos = new HashMap<>(); @Override public void save(AutoDebitInfo info) { infos.put(info.getUserId(), info); } @Override public AutoDebitInfo findOne(String userId) { return infos.get(userId); } } public class AutoDebitRegister_Fake_Test { private AutoDebitRegister register; private StubCardNumberValidator cardNumberValidator; private MemoryAutoDebitInfoRepository repository; @BeforeEach void setUp() { cardNumberValidator = new StubCardNumberValidator(); repository = new MemoryAutoDebitInfoRepository(); register = new AutoDebitRegister(cardNumberValidator, repository); } @Test void alreadyRegistered_InfoUpdated() { repository.save( new AutoDebitInfo("user1", "111222333444", LocalDateTime.now())); AutoDebitReq req = new AutoDebitReq("user1", "123456789012"); RegisterResult result = this.register.register(req); AutoDebitInfo saved = repository.findOne("user1"); assertEquals("123456789012", saved.getCardNumber()); } @Test void notYetRegistered_newInfoRegistered() { AutoDebitReq req = new AutoDebitReq("user1", "1234123412341234"); RegisterResult result = this.register.register(req); AutoDebitInfo saved = repository.findOne("user1"); assertEquals("1234123412341234", saved.getCardNumber()); } } 대역을 사용한 외부 상황 흉내와 결과 검증 앞서 대역을 사용한 테스트에서 주목할 점은 다음 두 가지 없이 AutoDebitRegister에 대한 테스트를 수행했다는 점이다. 외부 카드 정보 API 연동 자동이체 정보를 저장한 DB StubCardNumberValidator를 사용해서 유효하지 않은 카드번호에 대한 테스트를 수행했다. 외부 업체에서 제공하는 카드 정보 API 연동 없이 AutoDebitRegister가 유효하지 않은 카드번호에 대해 올바르게 동작하는지 확인할 수 있었다. 비슷하게 도난 카드번호에 대한 테스트도 대역인 StubCardNumberValidator을 이용해서 진행할 수 있었다. 또한, 메모리를 사용한 MemoryAutoDebitInfoRepository를 이용해서 데이터가 올바르게 바뀌고 저장되는지 확인했다. 실제 DB를 연동하지 않고 AutoDebitRegister가 데이터 저장소에 데이터를 올바르게 반영하는지 확인할 수 있었다. DB를 연동하지 않고 메모리를 사용했기에 테스트 속도도 매우 빠르다. 아래 공통점은 대역을 이용해서 외부의 상황을 흉내 낸다는 점이다. StubCardNumberValidator: 카드 정보 API를 대신해서 유효한 카드번호, 도난 카드번호와 같은 상황을 흉내 낸다 MemoryAutoDebitInfoRepository: 특정 사용자에 대한 자동이체 정보가 이미 등록되어 있거나 등록되어 있지 않은 상황을 흉내 낸다. 또한, 대역을 이용하면 외부에 대한 결과를 검증할 수 있다. AutoDebitRegister는 자동이체 정보를 AutoDebitlnfoRepository에 저장하는데 테스트 코드는 메모리를 이용한 대역을 사용해서 저장 결과를 확인하고 있다. 대역 종류 구현에 따라 아래와 같이 대역을 구분할 수 있다. 대역 종류 설명 스텁(Stub) 구현을 단순한 것으로 대체한다. 테스트에 맞게 단순히 원하는 동작을 수행한다. StubCardNumberValidator가 스텁 대역에 해당한다. 가짜(Fake) 제품에는 적합하지 않지만, 실제 동작하는 구현을 제공한다. DB 대신에 메모리를 이용해서 구현한 MemoryAutoDebitInfoRepository가 가짜 대역에 해당한다. 스파이(Spy) 호출된 내역을 기록한다. 기록한 내용은 테스트 결과를 검증할 때 사용한다. 스텁이기도 하다. 모의(Mock) 기대한 대로 상호작용하는지 행위를 검증한다. 기대한 대로 동작하지 않으면 익셉션을 발생할 수 있다. 모의 객체는 스텁이자 스파이도 된다. 회원 가입 기능을 이용해서 대역을 살펴보자. 각 타입은 다음 역할을 수행한다. UserRegister: 회원 가입에 대한 핵심 로직을 수행한다. WeakPasswordChecker: 암호가 약한지 검사한다. UserRepository: 회원 정보를 저장하고 조회하는 기능을 제공한다. EmailNotifier: 이메일 발송 기능을 제공한다 public class UserRegisterTest { private UserRegister userRegister; private StubWeakPasswordChecker stubPasswordChecker = new StubWeakPasswordChecker(); private MemoryUserRepository fakeRepository = new MemoryUserRepository(); private SpyEmailNotifier spyEmailNotifier = new SpyEmailNotifier(); @BeforeEach void setUp() { userRegister = new UserRegister(stubPasswordChecker, fakeRepository, spyEmailNotifier); } @DisplayName("약한 암호면 가입 실패") @Test void weakPassword() { stubPasswordChecker.setWeak(true); assertThrows(WeakPasswordException.class, () -> { userRegister.register("id", "pw", "email"); }); } @DisplayName("이미 같은 ID가 존재하면 가입 실패") @Test void dupIdExists() { // 이미 같은 ID 존재하는 상황 만들기 fakeRepository.save(new User("id", "pw1", "email@email.com")); assertThrows(DupIdException.class, () -> { userRegister.register("id", "pw2", "email"); }); } @DisplayName("같은 ID가 없으면 가입 성공함") @Test void noDupId_RegisterSuccess() { userRegister.register("id", "pw", "email"); User savedUser = fakeRepository.findById("id"); assertEquals("id", savedUser.getId()); assertEquals("email", savedUser.getEmail()); } @DisplayName("가입하면 메일을 전송함") @Test void whenRegisterThenSendMail() { userRegister.register("id", "pw", "email@email.com"); assertTrue(spyEmailNotifier.isCalled()); assertEquals( "email@email.com", spyEmailNotifier.getEmail()); } } public class WeakPasswordException extends RuntimeException { } public interface WeakPasswordChecker { boolean checkPasswordWeak(String pw); } public class StubWeakPasswordChecker implements WeakPasswordChecker { private boolean weak; public void setWeak(boolean weak) { this.weak = weak; } @Override public boolean checkPasswordWeak(String pw) { return weak; } } public class UserRegister { private WeakPasswordChecker passwordChecker; private UserRepository userRepository; private EmailNotifier emailNotifier; public UserRegister(WeakPasswordChecker passwordChecker, UserRepository userRepository, EmailNotifier emailNotifier) { this.passwordChecker = passwordChecker; this.userRepository = userRepository; this.emailNotifier = emailNotifier; } public void register(String id, String pw, String email) { if (passwordChecker.checkPasswordWeak(pw)) { throw new WeakPasswordException(); } User user = userRepository.findById(id); if (user != null) { throw new DupIdException(); } userRepository.save(new User(id, pw, email)); emailNotifier.sendRegisterEmail(email); } } public interface UserRepository { void save(User user); User findById(String id); } public class MemoryUserRepository implements UserRepository { private Map<String, User> users = new HashMap<>(); @Override public void save(User user) { users.put(user.getId(), user); } @Override public User findById(String id) { return users.get(id); } } public class User { private String id; private String password; private String email; public User(String id, String password, String email) { this.id = id; this.password = password; this.email = email; } public String getId() { return id; } public String getEmail() { return email; } } public class DupIdException extends RuntimeException { } 대역과 개발 속도 TDD 과정에서 대역을 사용하지 않고 실제 구현을 사용한다면 다음과 같은 일이 벌어지게 된다. 카드 정보 제공 업체에서 도난 카드번호를 받을 때까지 테스트를 기다린다. 카드 정보 제공 API가 비정상 응답을 주는 상황을 테스트하기 위해 업체의 변경 대응을 기다린다. 회원 가입 테스트를 한 뒤에 편지가 도착할 때까지 메일함을 확인한다. 약한 암호 검사 기능을 개발할 때까지 회원 가입 테스트를 대기한다. 네 경우 모두 대기 시간이 발생한다. 도난 카드에 대한 테스트를 진행하기 위해 업체로부터 도난 카드번호를 받아야 한다. 바로 카드번호를 받을 수 있으면 좋지만 1~2일 이상 소요되는 경우도 있다. 회원 가입할 때 메일이 발송되는지 확인하려면 실제 이메일 주소를 이용해서 테스트를 진행해야 한다. 또한, 메일이 도착할 때까지 메일함을 확인해야 한다. 이메일 특성상 테스트를 실행하고 몇 분 뒤에 메일이 도착하기도 한다. 약한 암호 검사 기능을 다른 개발자가 구현하고 있다면 그 개발자가 구현을 완료할 때까지 약한 암호에 대한 회원 가입 테스트를 진행할 수 없다. 대역을 사용하면 실제 구현이 없어도 다양한 상황에 대해 테스트할 수 있다. 외부의 카드 정보 제공 API와 연동할 수 없는 경우에도 유효한 카드번호나 도난 카드번호에 대한 테스트를 진행할 수 있다. DB가 없어도 동일 ID가 이미 존재하는 상황을 테스트할 수 있다. 또한, 대역을 사용하면 실제 구현이 없어도 실행 결과를 확인할 수 있다. DB가 없어도 회원 데이터가 올바르게 저장되는지 확인할 수 있고 메일 서버가 없어도 이메일 발송 요청을 하는지 확인할 수 있다. 즉, 대역은 의존하는 대상을 구현하지 않아도 테스트 대상을 완성할 수 있게 만들어주며 이는 대기 시간을 줄여주어 개발 속도를 올리는 데 도움이 된다. 모의 객체를 과하게 사용하지 않기 모의 객체는 스텁과 스파이를 지원하므로 대역으로 모의 객체를 많이 사용한다. 하지만 모의 객체를 과하게 사용하면 오히려 테스트 코드가 복잡해지는 경우도 발생한다. 회원 가입 성공 테스트를 모의 객체를 이용해서 작성해보자. public class UserRegisterMockOvercaseTest { private UserRegister userRegister; private WeakPasswordChecker mockPasswordChecker = Mockito.mock(WeakPasswordChecker.class); private UserRepository mockRepository = Mockito.mock(UserRepository.class); private EmailNotifier mockEmailNotifier = Mockito.mock(EmailNotifier.class); @BeforeEach void setUp() { userRegister = new UserRegister(mockPasswordChecker, mockRepository, mockEmailNotifier); } @DisplayName("이미 같은 ID가 존재하면 가입 실패") @Test
The North America vehicle roadside assistance is evolving through the adoption of telematics, mobile applications, GPS-enabled dispatch, and connected vehicle technologies. These developments are helping providers improve response times and customer experiences. According to The Insight Partners, The vehicle roadside assistance market size is projected to reach US$ 57.42 billion by 2031 from US$ 40.58 billion in 2024. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.09% during 2025–2031. Growth Drivers of the Vehicle Roadside Assistance Market Increasing Vehicle Ownership and Road Travel:-The expansion of the global vehicle population is one of the major factors supporting demand for roadside assistance. As more passenger and commercial vehicles operate on roads, the potential number of breakdowns and roadside emergencies also increases. Longer commuting distances, intercity travel, and expanding road infrastructure further contribute to demand for emergency vehicle services. Rising Demand for Towing and Breakdown Services:-Towing remains a critical component of roadside assistance because vehicles involved in serious mechanical failures, collisions, or other incidents may not be repairable at the roadside. Towing services enable disabled vehicles to be transported to repair facilities or other designated locations. Growth of Electric Vehicles:-The increasing adoption of electric vehicles is creating new opportunities for roadside assistance providers. EV owners can require services such as mobile charging, battery-related support, specialized towing, and assistance with charging-related incidents. Get Sample PDF@ https://www.theinsightpartners.com/sample/TIPRE00042074 Key Trends in the Vehicle Roadside Assistance Market Technology is transforming how roadside assistance services are requested, dispatched, and delivered. Mobile applications allow drivers to request assistance, share their location, track technicians, receive estimated arrival times, and communicate with service providers. Telematics and connected-car technologies can further improve the roadside assistance process by transmitting information about vehicle location and potential mechanical problems. This can help providers understand the nature of an incident before a technician reaches the customer. Artificial intelligence is another emerging technology area. AI-powered platforms can support automated issue identification, service dispatch, routing, and customer communication. Industry developments increasingly emphasize digital platforms that improve response times and provide real-time updates to customers. The integration of roadside assistance with connected vehicle systems also creates opportunities for proactive services. Instead of waiting for a driver to manually request help, vehicle data can potentially alert service providers when specific problems occur, allowing assistance workflows to begin more quickly. Market Segmentation The vehicle roadside assistance market can be analyzed based on vehicle type, service type, provider, and geography. By Vehicle Type The vehicle roadside assistance market is generally divided into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Passenger cars represent a substantial demand base because of the large global installed vehicle population and frequent use for commuting, travel, and personal transportation. Commercial vehicles also generate significant demand because trucks, vans, and other fleet vehicles are closely linked to business operations. Vehicle downtime can affect deliveries, logistics operations, and revenue generation, making rapid roadside assistance particularly important for fleet operators. By Service Type Major services include towing, tire replacement, fuel delivery, battery assistance, lockout or replacement key services, and other emergency support. Towing is one of the most important services because serious breakdowns and accidents frequently require vehicle recovery. Battery assistance, tire services, and fuel delivery address common roadside problems that can often be resolved without transporting the vehicle to a workshop. By Provider Key provider categories include automotive manufacturers, motor insurance companies, independent warranty providers, and automotive clubs. Insurers increasingly bundle roadside assistance into vehicle insurance offerings, while manufacturers may provide assistance as part of warranties, maintenance packages, or connected-car programs. Automotive clubs continue to operate established assistance networks, while digital platforms are creating additional channels for customers to request services. Regional Outlook North America represents an important market for vehicle roadside assistance because of its high vehicle ownership levels, established automotive service infrastructure, and extensive network of roadside service providers. Europe also has a well-established roadside assistance ecosystem supported by automotive clubs, insurance companies, manufacturers, and independent service providers. The region's mature automotive infrastructure creates opportunities for technology-enabled assistance and connected vehicle services. Asia Pacific presents significant opportunities because of increasing vehicle sales and expanding road networks. Countries such as India and China are witnessing increasing demand for automotive services as vehicle ownership expands. In India, for example, the vehicle roadside assistance market is expected to grow strongly through 2033, supported by increasing vehicle usage and demand for emergency services.

기능에서의 상황 기능은 주어진 상황에 따라 다르게 동작한다. 예를 들어 다음 기능을 보자. 파일에서 숫자를 읽어와 숫자의 합을 구한다. 한 줄마다 한 개의 숫자를 포함한다. 이 기능을 MathUtils.sum() 메서드로 구현한다고 가정하자. 다음처럼 sum() 메서드에 파일을 인자로 전달할 것이다. sum() 메서드는 인자로 전달받은 파일에서 한 줄씩 읽어와 숫자로 변환한 뒤에 합한 값을 결과로 제공하면 된다. File datafile = new File("data.txt"); long sum = MathUtils.sum(dataFile); 하지만 이 기능을 구현하려면 고려할 것이 있다. 먼저 파일이 없는 상황을 처리해야 한다. 데이터를 읽을 파일이 없다면 인자가 잘못되었다는 익셉션을 발생하거나 문제 상황을 알려줄 수 있는 값을 리턴해야 한다. 비슷하게 데이터 중에 숫자가 아닌 잘못된 데이터가 존재하는 경우에도 알맞은 결과를 생성해야 한다. 이처럼 주어진 상황에 따라 기능 실행 결과는 달라진다. 이는 테스트 코드 구조에도 영향을 준다. 테스트 코드의 구성 요소: 상황, 실행, 결과 확인 기능은 상황에 따라 결과가 달라진다. 테스트 코드는 기능을 실행하고 그 결과를 확인하므로 상황, 실행, 결과 확인의 세 가지 요소로 테스트를 구성할 수 있다. 어떤 상황이 주어지고, 그 상황에서 기능을 실행하고, 실행한 결과를 확인하는 세 가지가 테스트 코드의 기본 골격을 이루게 된다. 상황, 실행, 결과 확인은 영어 표현 given, when, then에 대응한다. JUnit에서 상황을 설정하는 방법은 테스트할 대상에 따라 달라진다. 각 테스트 메서드마다 객체를 생성해서 상황을 설정하거나 @BeforeEach를 적용한 메서드에서 상황을 설정할 수 있다. 상황이 없는 경우도 존재할 수 있다. 실행 결과를 확인하는 쉬운 방법은 리턴 값을 사용하는 것이지만, 실행 결과가 항상 리턴 값으로 존재하는 것은 아니다. 실행 결과로 익셉션을 발생하는 것이 정상인 경우도 있다. 상황-실행-결과 확인 구조에 너무 집착하지는 말자. 이 구조가 테스트 코드를 작성하는데 도움이 되는 것은 맞지만 꼭 모든 테스트 메서드를 이 구조로 만들어야 하는 것은 아니다. 테스트 코드를 보고 테스트 내용을 이해할 수 있으면 된다. 외부 상황과 외부 결과 상황 설정이 테스트 대상으로 국한된 것은 아니다. 상황에는 외부 요인도 있다. File datafile = new File("data.txt"); long sum = MathUtils.sum(dataFile); MathUtils.sum() 메서드를 테스트하려면 파일이 존재하지 않는 상황에서의 결과도 확인해야 한다. 그렇다면 파일이 존재하지 않는 상황을 어떻게 만들 수 있을까? 가장 쉬운 방법은 존재하지 않는 파일의 경로를 사용하는 것이다. @Test void noDataFile_Then_Exception() { File dataFile = new File("badpath.txt"); assertThrows(IllegalArgumentException.class, () -> MathUtils.sum(dataFile) ); } 이 방법이 쉽긴 하지만 항상 테스트에 성공할 것이라는 보장은 없다. 우연이라도 해당 파일이 존재할 수 있기 때문이다. 테스트는 실행할 때마다 동일한 결과를 보장해야 하는데 우연에 의해 테스트 결과가 달라지면 동일한 결과를 보장할 수 없다. 이는 테스트를 신뢰할 수 없게 만들어 테스트 결과를 무시하게 만드는 요인이 될 수 있다. 더욱 확실한 방법은 명시적으로 파일이 없는 상황을 만드는 것이다. 다음은 명시적으로 파일이 없는 상황을 만드는 예를 보여준다. @Test void noDataFile_Then_Exception() { givenNoFile("badpath.txt"); File dataFile = new File("badpath.txt"); assertThrows(IllegalArgumentException.class, () -> MathUtils.sum(dataFile) ); } private void givenNoFile(String path) { File file = new File(path); if (file.exists()) { boolean deleted = file.delete(); if (!deleted) throw new RuntimeException("fail givenNoFile: " + path); } } 이 테스트에서 givenNoFile() 메서드는 해당 경로에 파일이 존재하는지 검사해서 존재할 경우 해당 파일을 삭제한다. 이렇게 함으로써 테스트가 항상 올바른 상황에서 동작한다는 것을 보장할 수 있다. 다음으로 파일이 존재하는 상황은 어떻게 만들 수 있을까? 쉬운 방법은 상황에 알맞은 파일을 미리 만들어 두는 것이다. 파일을 미리 만들지 않고 테스트 코드에서 상황에 맞는 파일을 생성하는 방법도 있다. 이 방법의 장점은 테스트 코드 안에 필요한 것이 다 있다는 것이다. 테스트 코드에서 상황을 명시적으로 구성하기 때문에 테스트 내용을 이해하기 위해 많은 파일을 볼 필요가 없다. 테스트 대상이 아닌 외부에서 결과를 확인해야 할 때도 있다. 예를 들어 처리 결과를 지정한 경로의 파일에 저장하는 기능을 생각해보자. 이 기능을 실행한 결과를 검증하려면 해당 경로에 파일이 원하는 내용으로 만들어졌는지 확인해야 한다. 외부 상태가 테스트 결과에 영향을 주지 않게 하기 테스트 코드는 한 번만 실행하고 끝나지 않는다. TDD를 진행하는 동안에도 계속 실행하고 개발이 끝난 이후에도 반복적으로 테스트를 실행해서 문제가 없는지 검증한다. 그렇기 때문에 테스트는 언제 실행해도 항상 정상적으로 동작하는 것이 중요하다. 간헐적으로 실패하거나 다른 테스트 다음에 실행해야 성공하면 테스트 결과를 믿을 수 없게 된다. 이렇게 되면 테스트가 실패해도 무감각해지고 더 나아가 테스트를 만들지 않게 된다. 회원 가입 기능을 예로 들어보자. 회원 가입 기능 테스트에는 다음을 포함한다. 중복된 ID가 이미 존재하면 가입 실패 모든 조건을 충족하면 가입 성공 두 테스트를 다음과 같이 작성했다고 가정하자. @Test void dupIdTest() { RegistReq req = new RegistReq("bkchoidup", "최범균중복"); assertThrows(DuplicateIdException.class, () -> registerService.register(req)); } @Test void registerSuccessfully() { RegistReq req = new RegistReq("bkchoi", "최범균"); registerService.register(req); Member mem = memberRepo.findById("bkchoi"); assertEquals("최범균", mem.getName()); } dupIdTest() 테스트를 검증하려면 DB의 회원 테이블에 아이디가 “bkchoidup"인 데이터를 미리 추가해야 한다. 그래야 아이디 중복 여부를 확인하는 dupIdTest()가 올바르게 동작한다. 아이디가 “bkchoi"인 데이터가 없는 상태에서 registerSuccessfully() 테스트를 실행했더니 통과했다고 하자. 이 테스트에 성공하면 DB 회원 테이블에 아이디가 "bkchoi"인 데이터가 생성된다. 이 상태에서 다시 registerSuccessfully() 테스트를 실행하면 이미 "bkchoi"인 아이디가 존재하므로 아이디 중복으로 테스트에 실패한다. 즉, DB 데이터의 상태에 따라 테스트가 성공하기도 하고 실패하기도 하는 것이다. 이렇게 외부 상태에 따라 테스트의 성공 여부가 바뀌지 않으려면 테스트 실행 전에 외부를 원하는 상태로 만들거나 테스트 실행 후에 외부 상태를 원래대로 되돌려 놓아야 한다. 예를 들어 registerSuccessfully() 테스트를 실행할 때 아이디가 "bkchoi”인 회원 데이터를 삭제해서 중복이 발생하지 않도록 만들거나 registerSuccessfully() 메서드 실행 후에 트랜잭션을 롤백하는 방법이 있다. 외부 상태와 테스트 어려움 상황과 결과에 영향을 주는 외부 요인은 파일, DBMS, 외부 서버 등 다양하다. 이들 외부 환경을 테스트에 맞게 구성하는 것이 항상 가능한 것은 아니다. 자동이체 등록 기능을 생각해보자. 이 기능은 입력받은 계좌 번호가 올바른지 확인해야 한다. 이를 위해 금융 회사에서 제공하는 REST API를 사용한다면 자동이체 등록 기능에 대한 테스트는 다음 상황에서의 결과를 확인할 수 있어야 한다. REST API 응답 결과가 유효한 계좌 번호인 상황 REST API 응답 결과가 유효하지 않은 계좌 번호인 상황 REST API 서버에 연결할 수 없는 상황 REST API 서버에서 응답을 5초 이내에 받지 못하는 상황 각 상황을 어떻게 테스트할 수 있을까? 유효한 계좌 번호와 유효하지 않은 계좌 번호는 API 제공 업체에서 정보를 받아 테스트해 볼 수 있다. 그런데 REST API 서버에 연결할 수 없는 상황이나 REST API 서버에서 지정한 시간 안에 응답을 주지 않는 상황은 어떻게 만들어낼 수 있을까? REST API 제공 업체에 잠깐만 서버를 죽여 달라고 할 수 없다. 또는 REST API 제공 업체에 응답을 일부러 7초 뒤에 주도록 수정해 달라고 부탁할 수도 없다. 실행 결과가 외부 시스템에 기록되는 경우도 있다. 필자가 경험한 프로젝트 중에는 외부 택배사에 배송 정보를 전달하기 위해 택배사가 제공한 DB 테이블을 사용한 사례가 있다. 주문이 들어오면 택배사가 제공한 DB 테이블에 필요한 데이터를 추가하는 방식으로 배송 정보를 전달했다. 동일한 테스트를 여러 번 수행할 수 있으려면 택배사가 제공한 DB 테이블에서 데이터를 삭제할 수 있어야 했는데 택배사는 해당 테이블에 대해 INSERT와 SELECT 권한만 주고 DELETE 권한은 주지 않았다. 이처럼 테스트 대상이 아닌 외부 요인은 테스트 코드에서 다루기 힘든 존재이다. 외부 상황은 테스트 코드에서 마음대로 제어할 수 없는 경우가 있다. 또한, 테스트 코드에서 생성한 외부 결과를 마음대로 초기화하기 힘들 때도 있다. 이렇게 테스트 대상의 상황과 결과에 외부 요인이 관여할 경우 대역을 사용하면 테스트 작성이 쉬워진다. 대역은 테스트 대상이 의존하는 대상의 실제 구현을 대신하는 구현인데 이 대역을 통해서 외부 상황이나 결과를 대체할 수 있다.
Sprained my ankle so I couldn't go anywhere for days. Tucan Casino kept me busy. Mobile site works well, no app needed. For United Kingdom players there's proper support and bonuses that make sense. Live section is genuinely entertaining. Spent a couple hours there and forgot about the ankle. Good distraction.

For DME and HME providers, understanding current dme industry trends is important because many of the changes taking place across the market are directly connected to technology adoption. Businesses are looking for ways to reduce administrative work, improve accuracy, accelerate fulfillment, and provide patients with a smoother experience. At the same time, technology does not eliminate the need for knowledgeable employees. Instead, the most practical approach is to combine experienced teams with software that can handle repetitive and time-consuming processes. The Growing Importance of Digital Operations A traditional DME business can involve a surprisingly large number of administrative steps. A patient may need to provide documentation, complete an intake process, verify insurance coverage, obtain authorization, receive equipment, and eventually participate in billing or resupply activities. Each step creates opportunities for delays or errors. When these processes depend heavily on spreadsheets, paper documents, phone calls, and disconnected systems, employees spend considerable time moving information from one place to another. That can make it difficult to see the complete status of an order or patient account. Digital systems can bring these workflows together. Instead of managing patient information, orders, inventory, billing, and delivery as completely separate processes, a modern DME platform can connect them. This gives staff greater visibility into what is happening and allows businesses to respond faster when something requires attention. The goal is not simply to introduce more software. The goal is to create a workflow in which information moves efficiently between departments without unnecessary manual intervention. Patient Experience Is Becoming a Competitive Factor DME providers operate in healthcare, which means the patient experience matters just as much as operational efficiency. Patients often have little interest in the internal complexity of insurance verification, authorization, billing, or equipment fulfillment. They want to know whether their order has been received, whether their insurance has been processed, when their equipment will arrive, and what they need to do next. This creates an important opportunity for DME businesses. Digital patient intake can reduce unnecessary paperwork and allow patients to submit information remotely. Automated notifications can provide updates about orders, payments, documentation, or delivery. Online communication can also reduce the number of routine calls employees have to handle manually. These improvements can benefit both sides. Patients receive more timely information, while employees spend less time answering repetitive questions and searching for basic order information. Automation Is Moving Beyond Billing Automation has traditionally been associated with billing and claims processing. While revenue cycle management remains one of the most important areas for automation, its role in DME operations is much broader. A modern DME company can use automation across multiple stages of the workflow. Patient Intake Digital forms and automated workflows can help collect patient information and documentation before an order reaches the next stage. Insurance Verification Automated eligibility checks can reduce the amount of repetitive work required to determine whether a patient has active coverage. Order Management Software can help employees track orders and identify missing information before an order becomes delayed. Inventory Management Real-time inventory visibility can help providers understand what equipment is available, where it is located, and when additional stock may be required. Billing and Claims Automated billing workflows can help identify errors before claims are submitted and reduce unnecessary manual corrections. Delivery Mobile applications and digital signatures can make delivery operations easier to coordinate while giving businesses better visibility into completed deliveries. Resupply Automated messages and workflow triggers can remind eligible patients about recurring supplies and help staff manage follow-up activities. The common theme is consistency. Automation allows routine processes to follow predefined rules instead of depending entirely on employees remembering every individual step. Inventory Management Is Becoming More Data-Driven Inventory represents a significant operational challenge for many DME businesses. Providers need enough equipment to meet demand, but excessive inventory can tie up capital and increase storage costs. At the same time, insufficient inventory can delay fulfillment and create a poor patient experience. Manual inventory tracking makes this balance even harder to achieve. Modern inventory systems provide businesses with a more detailed view of available equipment. Depending on the platform, companies can track items by location, serial number, lot, warranty status, or other relevant attributes. This is particularly useful for businesses operating multiple warehouses or locations. Instead of asking employees to manually check several systems or physical storage areas, staff can use centralized information to determine where equipment is located and how it is being used. Inventory data can also support better purchasing decisions. Historical demand, current stock levels, outstanding orders, and expected deliveries can all contribute to a more informed approach to inventory planning. Revenue Cycle Management Remains Critical Even a DME business with excellent patient service can struggle if its revenue cycle is inefficient. DME billing involves numerous details, including payer rules, documentation requirements, eligibility, claims, payments, denials, and patient responsibility. Small mistakes can result in rejected or delayed claims. That is why revenue cycle management continues to be a major area of technology investment. A modern DME software platform can help providers organize billing workflows and identify potential problems earlier. Claim checks, automated eligibility verification, payment posting, denial management, and reporting can reduce the amount of repetitive administrative work. The financial impact can extend beyond faster billing. When businesses have better visibility into accounts receivable and outstanding claims, managers can make decisions based on current information rather than relying on outdated spreadsheets or manual reports. Data Is Becoming More Valuable Another important development in the DME market is the growing importance of operational data. DME companies generate information throughout the entire patient journey. This can include order volumes, fulfillment times, inventory levels, claim outcomes, payment activity, delivery performance, and resupply activity. Without appropriate reporting tools, much of that information remains difficult to use. Analytics can help managers identify patterns that might otherwise be overlooked. For example, a business could discover that certain types of claims experience more frequent denials, that a particular warehouse regularly experiences fulfillment delays, or that specific products are consistently overstocked. These insights can support operational decisions. The value of analytics does not come from producing more reports. It comes from helping management understand what is happening inside the business and where processes can be improved. Cloud Software Is Changing the DME Workplace Cloud-based software has also changed how DME teams access their systems. Traditional applications may depend on specific computers or local infrastructure. Cloud platforms allow authorized users to access operational information through internet-connected devices, depending on the system's architecture and security controls. This can be particularly useful for DME organizations with employees working across different locations. A billing specialist, warehouse employee, manager, and delivery team may all need access to different parts of the same operational ecosystem. Centralized cloud software can help keep information synchronized instead of forcing teams to work from disconnected databases. However, convenience should not come at the expense of security. DME providers handle sensitive healthcare information, making access controls, encryption, authentication, auditability, and compliance important considerations when evaluating software. The Role of Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence is beginning to influence healthcare administration, including DME operations. The most practical applications are not necessarily about replacing employees. Instead, AI can help teams process information faster and automate repetitive interactions. Potential applications include document processing, patient communication, data extraction, call handling, workflow prioritization, and identifying information that requires human review. For example, an AI-enabled workflow might help organize incoming documentation before an employee reviews it. Another system might assist with routine patient communication while escalating complex questions to staff. This creates a useful distinction between automation and human decision-making. Routine processes can potentially be automated, while employees remain responsible for decisions that require professional judgment, patient interaction, or interpretation of unusual circumstances.

If you plan to buy Facebook accounts, knowing what you are actually getting matters more than finding the lowest price. People search for Facebook accounts for many reasons. Some want an older online presence. Others need Facebook for marketing, Marketplace, Page management, or business activity. You may also see offers for verified profiles, USA-based profiles, aged accounts, or packages containing dozens of accounts. The problem is simple: an account is not just a username and password. It can contain an identity history, recovery information, security settings, previous activity, restrictions, advertising records, and connections to other Meta services. So before you buy Facebook accounts , it helps to understand both the attraction and the risks. This guide explains the market and its risks. It does not recommend bypassing Facebook security checks, account restrictions, identity verification, or platform enforcement. 🎉🔥 Need Help Before Ordering? 🔥🎉 We're here to assist you! Feel free to connect with us through any of the following channels ⤵️ 📧 Email: contact@bestsmmexpert.com 📨 Telegram: @BestSMMExpert 🟢 WhatsApp: +1 (715) 807-8876 🌐 Website: https://bestsmmexpert.com/product/facebook-accounts/?utm_source=velogoctli 🖤 THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING US 🖤', What Is “Buy Facebook Accounts”? The phrase buy Facebook accounts normally means obtaining control of an existing Facebook profile or digital asset from another person or business instead of creating your own profile from the beginning. Depending on the seller, people who buy Facebook accounts may see offers described as: Aged Facebook accounts USA Facebook accounts Verified Facebook accounts Accounts with friends or followers Marketplace-enabled accounts Advertising accounts Business-related profiles Facebook Pages Accounts sold individually Facebook accounts sold in bulk These products are not all the same. A personal Facebook profile belongs to an individual identity, while a Facebook Page can have several authorized managers. Meta officially provides Facebook access and task access so trusted people can manage a Page without sharing one personal login. That distinction is one of the most important things to understand before you buy Facebook accounts . What Do I Consider Before Buying Facebook Accounts? When I look at the idea of buying an account, I do not start with the number of friends or the age printed in a sales description. I start with ownership. Ask yourself: Who originally created the account? Can the original owner recover it later? Does the profile represent a real person? Has Facebook previously restricted it? Is two-factor authentication connected to somebody else's phone? Does the account contain personal information? Are you buying a personal login when you actually need Page access? What happens if Facebook asks for identity verification? Facebook says it can request documents showing a person's authentic name, including when someone needs access to features such as Marketplace. That creates an obvious problem. If you buy Facebook accounts created under identities that do not belong to you, passing a later ownership or identity check may become difficult. Why “Buy Facebook Accounts” Is Important to Understand The search term buy Facebook accounts receives attention because people are looking for speed. Building a new digital presence takes patience. Buying something established can therefore look tempting. But understanding the subject is important because the apparent benefits and the actual ownership risks are very different things. Faster Access Can Be Attractive Someone may want to buy Facebook accounts because a new profile has little history. An existing account may appear more established because it has posts, friends, followers, groups, or previous activity. Imagine launching a business today. A five-year-old profile can look more credible than one created this morning. The key word is look . Account age does not automatically mean the account is safe, legitimate, trusted, or suitable for your business. Business Continuity Matters Another reason people buy Facebook accounts is business continuity. For example, a company may acquire a brand and want control over the Facebook presence connected with that brand. In that situation, buying somebody's personal Facebook login may not be necessary. Facebook provides Page-access controls that let people with proper authority add and remove managers. That is far cleaner than passing a password around the office like the last slice of pizza. Security Matters Even More Purchased profiles may still contain: Old recovery emails Previous phone numbers Saved devices Two-factor authentication settings Previous sessions Connected Instagram accounts Payment details Personal conversations Facebook recommends security tools such as login alerts and two-factor authentication to protect accounts. So anyone researching whether to buy Facebook accounts should treat security as a central issue, not an afterthought. 11 Things to Know Before You Buy Facebook Accounts 1. Personal Profiles and Facebook Pages Are Different This is where many articles become unnecessarily messy. A personal profile represents a person. A Facebook Page represents a business, brand, public figure, organization, or similar entity. If your goal is managing a company, you may not need to buy Facebook accounts at all. Proper Page access may solve the problem. Facebook allows authorized Page managers to receive full or partial access, while task access can be used for activities through tools such as Meta Business Suite. 2. “Buy Facebook Account Verified” Does Not Mean Risk-Free A common search is buy facebook account verified . The word verified sounds reassuring. Unfortunately, it can mean several different things depending on the seller. It might refer to: Email verification Phone verification Identity verification A Meta Verified subscription Previous security checks Simply a seller's own definition of “verified” These are not interchangeable. If you want to buy Facebook accounts , never assume the word “verified” proves permanent ownership. Facebook can still request identity documentation. The name on supporting documents may need to match the Facebook profile. 3. Why People Search “Buy USA Facebook Accounts” Another popular phrase is buy USA Facebook accounts . People may look for US-based profiles because they want access to American audiences, local groups, advertising activity, or Marketplace listings. However, location labels deserve caution. A seller saying an account is “USA” does not automatically prove: The original owner was American The profile is currently located in the United States Marketplace features will remain available Advertising access is unrestricted The account has a genuine US audience When people buy Facebook accounts based mainly on country labels, they may be buying a marketing description rather than a meaningful guarantee. 4. Buying Facebook Accounts in Bulk Multiplies the Risk Searches for buy facebook accounts bulk usually come from agencies, marketers, researchers, or people handling several campaigns. Buying ten accounts may sound more efficient than buying one. It also creates ten sets of possible problems. When you buy Facebook accounts in volume, you may inherit multiple recovery emails, identities, security histories, devices, restrictions, and ownership questions. Bulk buying therefore needs more—not less—careful review. 5. Where to Buy Facebook Accounts Is Not the First Question to Ask Many readers search where to buy facebook accounts immediately. Current search results show that third-party websites and marketplaces openly advertise Facebook profiles, Pages, and similar digital assets. But a marketplace existing does not mean every listing is safe or compatible with Meta's rules. Before asking where to buy Facebook accounts , ask: What Facebook asset do I actually need? If you simply need to manage ads, content, messages, or a company Page, official access controls may be more suitable than purchasing a personal identity. 6. How to Buy a Facebook Account Safely? People also search how to buy a facebook account . There is no method that makes a transferred personal profile completely risk-free. That is the important answer. Rather than treating this as a simple shopping process, identify the business need first. For example: Need to manage a Page? Request Page access. Need to advertise? Use legitimate Meta business tools. Need Facebook Marketplace? Use an authentic eligible Facebook profile. Need several employees to manage content? Assign roles instead of sharing one password. Need a brand acquisition? Transfer control of relevant business assets using supported access tools. If your reason to buy Facebook accounts is simply to avoid normal account limitations or verification checks, the long-term risk can easily outweigh the short-term convenience. 7. Can I Buy a Facebook Account? The simple answer to can I buy a Facebook account is that third-party sellers do offer them. The better question is whether buying one is appropriate for your intended use. Facebook emphasizes authentic identity and can require identity documents for certain features. Because of that, people who buy Facebook accounts should understand that receiving a password is not the same as becoming the recognized original account holder. 8. Recovery Access Can Matter More Than the Password Suppose you purchase an account today. You change the password. Done? Not necessarily. The previous owner may still have access to: An original email account A recovery phone Recognized devices Authentication methods Historical identity information If Facebook later detects sus
How COSHH Helps Protect Workers from Long Term Health Risks Construction, oil and gas, and utility operations often take place in settings where contact with hazardous substances is an everyday reality. Workers may routinely encounter dust, vapours, fumes, chemicals, gases, and other materials capable of causing serious health problems over time. Because these exposures are so familiar, they can gradually start to feel like a normal part of the job. That sense of routine can make genuine hazards easier to ignore and can prevent organisations from using a consistent, effective method for managing them. COSHH provides the framework needed to address these risks and reduce harmful exposure. COSHH, meaning Control of Substances Hazardous to Health, centres on a simple principle: recognise substances that could cause harm and take sensible action before exposure leads to damage. Instead of waiting for illness or an incident, COSHH encourages prevention and makes protecting health a normal part of workplace operations. It is easy to think COSHH applies only to products carrying clear warning labels, yet its reach extends much further. Silica dust, welding fumes, wood dust, solvent vapours, cement particles, industrial gases, biological contaminants, and waste produced by work activities may all present concerns. Any substance that can harm health, particularly when people experience repeated or prolonged exposure, may need to be considered under COSHH. In busy workplaces containing machinery, demanding tasks, and complicated processes, hazardous substances can fade into the background. Fuels, coatings, cleaning products, and solvents may be seen simply as useful materials required to get work done, rather than possible sources of harm. Familiarity can gradually weaken caution, leaving both workers and organisations more likely to underestimate the risks. Another concern is that exposure does not always produce an immediate warning. Accidents can cause visible injuries quickly, while illnesses linked to hazardous substances may develop gradually. Respiratory problems, skin conditions, and chronic illnesses can take months or years to become apparent. COSHH matters because it aims to address exposure before these longer term effects develop into lasting health consequences. One of the biggest mistakes is treating COSHH as little more than a compliance exercise or a collection of forms. Good COSHH management is much broader than documentation. It should influence everyday planning, supervision, procedures, and workplace behaviour so that protecting health remains part of normal decision making rather than an occasional administrative task. The COSHH process may initially appear complex, but its basic steps are practical and organised. It begins with recognising hazardous substances. That means looking beyond chemicals kept in storage and considering substances created by work itself, including dust generated during cutting and fumes produced through heating. Materials that appear relatively harmless can still create problems when workers are exposed to them repeatedly over extended periods. The next step is completing appropriate risk assessments that reflect how exposure actually happens during work. People may breathe in airborne particles, absorb substances through their skin, unintentionally ingest contaminants, or touch harmful materials while handling them. A useful assessment therefore links each hazard to the tasks and conditions involved instead of simply producing a list of substances. Once risks are understood, organisations need suitable controls. Options can include replacing hazardous materials with safer choices, improving ventilation, modifying work methods, reducing the amount of time workers spend in higher risk areas, limiting access, and making sure personal protective equipment is used properly. PPE still has an important role, but it should not be relied upon as the primary safeguard when stronger source controls are possible. Training and communication are equally important. Employees need to know what risks the substances present and how the selected controls should be used. They should understand how to recognise hazards, interpret safety information, and consistently follow safe procedures. Without sufficient knowledge and awareness, even well designed controls may not deliver the protection expected. COSHH also requires continued attention rather than a one time effort. Work environments change as organisations introduce new processes, materials, equipment, and responsibilities. Controls therefore need regular review and reassessment to confirm that they still work effectively and accurately reflect current working conditions. The specific challenges can vary between industries. Oil and gas activities may involve hydrocarbons, chemical residues, confined spaces, and by products associated with heat. Construction work can involve shifting conditions, several contractors, and materials including silica dust, adhesives, cement, and fuels. Utility maintenance can also create exposure risks, including contact with chemicals such as chlorine or strong cleaning substances. Ultimately, COSHH represents more than a regulatory duty. It supports a workplace culture in which protecting health is treated as an ongoing responsibility. By recognising hazards early, assessing exposure carefully, introducing suitable controls, and reviewing practices regularly, organisations can lower the potential for long term harm and build safer working environments. Where hazardous substances cannot be avoided, COSHH provides an important safeguard. Its value extends beyond satisfying compliance expectations because it helps protect workers’ long term health while encouraging safer and more responsible approaches to everyday workplace operations for the years ahead.

데디케이티드 서버 , 리슨 서버 , TCP , UDP 를 내가 좋아하는 게임인 파이널판타지14(MMORPG), 발더스게이트3, 스타크래프트2에 빗대어 얘기해보는 글. 데디케이티드 서버 / Dedicated Server 별도의 서버에서 게임 서버를 단독으로 돌리는 방식. 서버에는 그래픽, 사운드, 입력같은 플레이어의 기능은 뺴고 돌아가기 때문에 효율적이며, MMO/슈터처럼 공정성과 보안이 중요한 게임에서 거의 반 필수로 사용되는 서버 방식 FFXIV을 예시로 설명해 보면 게임은 FFXIV의 본사인 Square Enix 회사 내 데이터센터 서버 안에 들어가 있음. 개인 컴퓨터에서는 내가 움직이거나 행동을 취할 때, 서버가 보내준 상태를 내 화면에 다시 그려주는 통로 역할만 함. 스킬 버튼을 누르면 내가 쓴 스킬 ID 와 타켓 등 간단한 정보만 서버로 보내고, 해당 스킬이 피격 되었는지, 데미지 계산식은 서버 내에서 판정하고 결과를 다시 반환한다. 위와 같은 방식때문에 아무리 개인이 데미지 정보를 변경해서 보내도 판정 권환이 Authority 방식이라서 데미지 핵같은게 통하지 않는다. 모든 플레이어가 접속을 끊더라고, 월드 자체는 계속 돌아감. 플레이어와 상관없이 서버가 항상 켜져있음. 장점 : 공정함, 보안, 대규묘 인원 처리에 용이, 24시간 유지 가능 단점 : 서버비용과 운영 인력이 듬. 정보 호출하는 과정에서 시간이 살짝 걸림. 서버와 거리가 먼 곳에 거주할 경우 핑 문제 리슨 서버 / Listen Server 플레이어 한 명이 호스트가 되어, 게임을 하면서 동시에 서버 역할도 하게 만듬. 소규모 협동/대전에는 유리하지만 호스트가 된 플레이어 PC에 부하가 듬 발더스게이트3를 예시로 설명하면. 멀티플레이를 연 사람이 호스타가 됨. 게임 상황이 각자 PC에 저장되는 것이 아닌, 호스트 개인 컴퓨터에만 저장됨. 그래서 호스트가 없으면 다른 플레이어끼리 게임을 시작할 수 없음. 호스트는 개인의 PC가 사실상 서버가 되니 핑 문제로부터 자유롭고 다른 유저들도 가까운 지역에 거주하고 있다면 데디게이티드 서버보다 핑이 나을 수 있음. 장점 : 유지 비용 거의 없음. 소규모 인원 처리 단점 : 보안 취약, 핑 차이(호스트는 거의 핑 0), 호스트의 상태에 따라 유지가 안 될 수도 있음 번외 다른 게임인 스타크래프트의 구조도 확인하면서 차이점을 한 번 더 체크한다. 게임 방식 특징 스타1 P2P 모든 플레이어가 서로 통신하는 P2P(Peer to Peer), 각자 PC에서 똑같은 시뮬레이션을 돌리낟. 유닛 위치 같은걸 직접 계산하지 않고 호출만 주고 받음, 한 명이 렉걸리면 전부 기다려야함 스타2 본사 서버 모든 통신이 본사 서버를 거치는 데디케이티드 방식, 인원이 늘어도 클라이언트 쪽 대역폭은 일정해짐 TCP / UDP 둘 다 인터넷으로 데이터를 보내는 배송 방식 의 차이 TCP 호출을 받는데에 특화, 실패할 경우 다시 요청하고 순서도 항상 지킨다 특징 : 도착과 순서가 보장됨 속도 : 패킷 하나가 유실되면 뒤의 데이터를 받지않아 막혀버림. 적합한 곳 : 로그인, 채팅, 결제, 다운로드 등 UDP 계속 호출하고, 실패할 경우엔 그냥 실패처리 해버리고 재요청 안함 특징 : 호출의 유실가능, 순서 바뀔수 있음 속도 : 기다리지 않아서 엄청 빠름 적합한 곳 : 실시간 위치, 이동, 공격같은 액션 게임 플레이 게임 예시 FFXIV는 게임 포트가 전부 TCP를 사용함. 액션성보다 명령한 게 확실히 전달되는게 더 중요한 MMORPG의 특성이라서 가능한 선택. 스타 2는 둘을 혼용해서 사용. 인증/채팅/맵 다운로드는 TCP를 쓰고 실제 인게임이 시작되면 UDP가 주도해서 게임을 돌림. 언리얼 엔진 은 UDP기반의 서버. 언리얼 넷드라이버 UIpNetDriver 가 UDP 소켓 위에서 돌아가고, 엔진이 그 위에 자체 신뢰성 계층 (ACK/NAK,재전송)을 올려둠. 그래서 개발자는 RPC마다 TCP/UDP 중 선택해서 보낼 수 있음.
