Presentation Proposal

  • Testing Patterns
    Submitted by: remi

    It's easy to start testing / test-driving your code, but it takes months or years of trial & error to know what to test and how to test it. When should mocks/stubs be used? What parts of your application should/shouldn't be tested? What's the best way to write tests for code that calls 3rd party web services?

    I've compiled a list of implementable testing patterns for: testing integration with web service APIs, testing interaction with web application interfaces, testing changes to the local filesystem, testing calls to external processes, testing databases, testing DSLs, general tips for writing tests that are easy to maintain and are resilient to refactorings

    We'll look at example tests and identify patterns that can be re-used to help you write better, more maintainable test suites that don't explode everytime you refactor your code!
