The Joy of Testing

We spend half of our coding time reading, writing or fixing tests. But who likes that? To quickly fix this chore, we often copy-cat older tests or write new ones without paying much attention to their quality. This deep-dive walks you through a variety of practical testing techniques and tricks you must have in your toolbox to write expressive tests with a higher signal/noise ratio. In the agenda: test structure & naming, mutation testing (vs AI-gen tests), ObjectMother, why never to use assertEquals, nested fixtures, parameterized use/abuse, Gherkin, plus a few surprises. All this through an entertaining and interactive session that puts the joy back into testing.
