Testing Times
Drive your Development and Trust your Code.

Rule #1
Test Your Code
• Unit Tests - you have them, right?
• Why? Confidence & Contract
• Multi-developer Friendly
• Backward Compatibility / API Compliance
• Accountability (halt scope creep!)

Standard Iterations
1. Specification
2. Implementation to Spec
3. Testing
4. Release

TDD Iterations

Rule #2
Run Your Tests
• 3 types of tests
• Unit / Integration / Acceptance
• Unit tests should be very fast run every build
• Integration tests should be run before commit
(You use version control, right?)
• Acceptance tests are hard to automate

Cruise Control

Bamboo

Rule #3
Get Covered
• Measure Code Coverage
• Tests (EMMA, Cobertura, Clover)
• Peer Review (Crucible)
• Identify & Repair Unacceptable Risk
