Solve problems for customers and the
organization
People want their problems solved fast
Code
That works
And easy to maintain

Ideal development time
Dev cycles graphics
“real” development time
Real development time
@gil_zilberfeld
Upfront testing increases productivity
◉ Development is iterative
◉ From iteration 2, they save us time
◉ Code works now and later
◉ “Getting into new code” time decreases
◉ Time to market decreases
The
automated
testing
pyramid http://blogs.agilefaqs.com/2011/02/01/inverting-the-testing-pyramid/
@gil_zilberfeld
Getting to full coverage
Unit tests
A+B+C+
X+Y+Z = 6 tests
Integration tests
AX+AY+AZ+
BX+BY+BZ+
CX+CY+CZ = 9 tests
@gil_zilberfeld
Longer
◉ Confidence
○ High
◉ Cost
○ Bigger setup
○ Harder to debug
○ More fragile
Shorter
◉ Confidence
○ Medium
◉ Cost
○ Small setup
○ Easier to debug
○ Pinpoint the
problem
Test paths
@gil_zilberfeld
Testing mindset
Think of cases you didn’t think of (yet)
@gil_zilberfeld
The fallacy of “Twice the time”
◉ Developer time is spent reading code, not writing
◉ Mostly because we want to make sure we didn’t
break anything
◉ It may double the code
◉ And frankly, it doesn’t matter
@gil_zilberfeld
Design affects testability
◉ Dependency injection
◉ Singletons and static data
◉ Configuration parameters
◉ Abstraction and encapsulation
“If you brought us a
functionally correct design
that required our app to run
on a million AWS instances,
we’d casually say "no, that’s
not valid.”

That works
And easy to maintain
