Test to Learn
Aidan Feldman
✓ learned by testing
part of getting better...
is overcoming the fear of breaking things
mitigate risk
- history (e.g. version control)
- abstraction
- testing
flavors of testing
- unit
- integration
- etc.
unit testing:
test a piece in isolation
integration testing:
test a bunch of pieces together
the way i think about it:
unit testing:
test a piece in isolation
unit testing:
test a piece [and everything below it] in isolation
testing is an art
not a science
( group exercise )
testing leads to...
- writing things to be testable
- breaking into smaller pieces
- coding from the outside in (the UX perspective)
writing tests forces better code
