Training: "Hands-On : TDD at the System Scale"
Track:
Tutorials
Time: Monday 09:00 - 16:00 Location: Henry Moore Room, Fourth Floor
Abstract:
This is a hands-on session so PLEASE BRING YOUR LAPTOP.
A hands-on tutorial teaching techniques for test-driven development at large scales, starting development with end-to-end tests at the system or system-of-systems level. However, many teams applying TDD leave integration and system testing until late in the project because they find it too difficult to write tests that cope with the distributed architecture and concurrent behaviour of their system. This tutorial demonstrates how to test-drive development starting with end-to-end system-tests and avoid common pitfalls, including unreliable tests, tests that give false positives, slow-running tests and test code that becomes difficult to maintain as the system grows.
