We all know by now how to write automated tests. But can we get better at it? In this talk, I’ll dive into what it takes to take developer testing to a whole new level based on lessons learned while trying to write good tests as a developer, as well as when trying to educate 500 TU Delft computer scientists on the art of software testing every year. -How to write tests in a more systematic way so that we go beyond the happy path. -How can we use code coverage to improve the testing process, and what research says about it. -Unit vs integration vs E2E tests, and mocking: the good, the bad and the ugly -3 simple rules to achieve design for testability, and how much TDD is needed
