Unit testing workshop

Testing pains

Have you ever felt

• Writing tests takes too long and I don't have time.
• Every time I change the code, I have to change the tests. 
• The tests mock so much that they seem useless
• Anything else?

Goal of these workshops

• Make testing easier, and save time long term
• Make tests better, so that tests are less coupled
• Make tests more useful, so we have more confidence

Pains of not testing

• Our code is untestable
• Anything else?

Goal

• Make refactoring relaxing
• Make releases boring
• Make our code easier to read and maintain

Plan

• Fundamentals: principles
• Intermediate: patterns
