Tests are supposed to save us money. How is it, then, that many times they become millstones around our necks, gradually morphing into fragile, breakable things that raise the cost of change? We write too many tests and we test the wrong kinds of things.
Software testing is a good thing, right? But how much should we test? What’s not enough? What’s too much? What should we test, and when? This talk looks at the many levels of testing, from the outermost UI tests to unit tests, what works well, what doesn’t work well.
Slow tests got you down? As Ruby developers, you might watch a lot of tests run in a given day. So why not make it more fun? This talk takes a light-hearted approach to introducing you to an array of test reporters including MiniTest’s Pride, Fuubar, and Nyan Cat Formatter. In addition, it shows how easy it is to make your very own test reporter for both Rspec or Minitest so you can have a more enjoyable testing experience.
Wild test suites often contain inefficient or ineffective tests. Working with a code base full of these beasts is frustrating and time consuming. This safari will help you identify and hunt down common testing anti-patterns. Afterwards you’ll know how to approach a test suite full of beasts without losing your mind or your life.
Behavior-driven development (BDD) is an increasingly popular variation on test-driven development, which helps developers think more in terms of “executable specifications” than in terms of conventional tests. There are dozens of BDD tools for the JVM out there—how do you know what to use and when?
In the context of Java EE 6, unit tests are nice but worthless. Unit and integration tests execute chunks of the business logic in a single thread. Back-end resources and shared states are simulated with mocks.
As Android gains popularity in the mobile world, application developers and OEM vendors are exploring ways to perform end-to-end UI driven testing of applications or entire platform. With a brief review of existing UI Automation solutions on Android, this talk introduces the recently released Android UI Automator framework, and continues to give an inside look of the framework, typical use cases and workflows.
