Unit Testing Explained for Joe Middleclass Programmer

If you're one of those programmers who think that subtle bugs only happen to other people, or that only bad programmers need extensive testing, this talk is for you.

Any non-trivial piece of software should be accompanied by an appropriate suite of automated tests. Your Plone products are no exception. By understanding approaches to automated testing and following good working practices, you can improve the quality of your code, as well as your confidence in your own work.

In this talk, Philipp von Weitershausen and Martin Aspeli will take you through the theory and practice of unit testing, integration testing and functional testing. Through real-world examples, you will learn that testing is not only necessary: it can be fun too!
