How to build GREAT tests
Session en anglais - Intermédiaire
Your tests may be good. But they could be better!
When production code has tests, they are often hard to read. They also get in your way when you want to refactor code. Sometimes, you have false positives. Often, they are flaky…
In this talk, we will show you real-world examples of tests that have been improved. We will cover a few techniques you can re-use at work to improve the quality of your own tests!
