Abstract:
Unit testing is one of those buzzwords that every developer hears about, but relatively few projects actually do in a way that adds value. Many developers view unit tests as some "tax" imposed by management. This presentation will show how to start using free tools to write unit tests that add immediate value, as well as dispel several common myths and abuses of unit testing. We'll touch on more advanced topics such as mocking, IOC, code coverage, integration into the development life cycle, and writing tests for legacy vs. new code. It will explain how unit tests fit with other types of automated tests (integration, functional, database, UI, performance), as well as how unit tests are but one technique in a developers' tool belt to craft better code.
