Speaker: Bruce McGee
Note the change in day and room. We are meeting in Room 3 on Wednesday.
We are going to be talking about Unit Testing and Test Driven Development (TDD) with an emphasis on some of the concerns and misconceptions that some people have about the practice. It’s too hard. It takes too long. It doesn’t test everything. Writing tests first is just weird. Etc.
We’ll talk about how and when you should create unit tests, demonstrate how easy it is to get started in Delphi and discuss a couple of real-world examples where writing tests first produced better results faster.
Done right, TDD produces higher quality code faster, makes that code reusable as a byproduct of the process and cuts down on how much maintenance that code will need afterwards. And as a bonus, you wind up with a suite of tests that lets you test for regressions and serves as a form of technical documentation.
Bring your questions and your concerns.
