Title: Bad test, good test
Proposer: seb_rose
Type: Workshop/Tutorial
Duration: 90 minutes
Description: Foundational unit testing techniques are often taken for granted, but
are an essential underpinning for delivering maintainable software.
The tests need to assist software development not hinder it, and to
that end need to be flexible, robust, comprehensible and performant.
If you find yourself fighting your test suite, then something is
wrong.
In this session, we re-examine the basics of a unit test. We will work
through a number of examples with continuous input from attendees.
Each example will start with a test of questionable quality, and we
will work through the issues till we're happy that it's as good as we
can get it.
Although this session is not specifically about the testability of
software, this will necessarily be touched upon as we consider some
test cases. Examples will be written in several common languages, but
knowledge of all (or any) of them is not a pre-requisite.
Roger: Yes
Asti: Yep, a no brainer
