Stop Mocking โ€“ start testing.

๐Ÿ•“ 10:15 am - ๐Ÿ“ RR4
How much value do your automated tests really provide? I will demonstrate common and regular pitfalls in automated testing. Namely, that of mis-defining what a โ€˜unitโ€™ is and disregard for integration tests. Among other things I will also demonstrate how stale tests โ€“ be they failing or passing are a problem as well. Testing is a good thing, testing a lot for the sake of it is NOT. Stop mocking and actually start testing to provide the highest amount of value in your application with the least amount of code.

It's such a privilege to be able to run this conference and DDD Perth would love to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in which DDD is created, presented, and shared, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
