ACCU London:Rethinking Unit Testing in C++
Rethinking Unit Testing in C++
Kevlin Henney, author of Agile Development for Developers will explore the typical styles used for C++ unit-testing frameworks before going on to look at other possibilities that are more likely to encourage programmer testing and higher quality unit tests.
C++ continues to be used widely in a number of domains. However, in spite of its continued popularity and presence, much of the recent thinking on programmer testing has passed C++ by. For reasons of programmer culture and language design, the practice of programmer testing and techniques such as TDD are often not even on the radar of many C++ programmers. This situation is not helped by the limitations of many C++ unit-testing frameworks. Some of the issues are caused by limitations in the language, whereas others are limitations in thinking.

In this talk, Kevlin Henney will explore the typical styles used for C++ unit-testing frameworks before going on to look at other possibilities that a more likely to encourage programmer testing and higher quality unit tests.

From the raw use of the assert macro, to xUnit-style frameworks, to more natively C++-style frameworks and then onto a specification-centric approach that abandons functions as the basic unit of test case decomposition. The technical and practitioner pros and cons of each approach are examined.

Kevlin Henney & Jon Jagger's Mastering Agile Practice

For a developer, deliberate practice means trying new things, trying old things with a view to making them fresh and trying to move from accidental practice to intentional discipline. Deliberate practice improves technical agility through increased self awareness.
    Learn to:
  • Evaluate and improve our test cases using Test-Driven Development
  • Learn pairing and team skills by putting them into practice
  • Identify blindspots in our own thinking, such as evaluating the quality of our own work
  • Learn how to learn and how to unlearn through deliberate practice

Jon Jagger & Kevlin Henney's Agile Development for Developers

Kevlin Henney's three day Agile Development for Developers course looks at the Agile principles, practices and processes that offer a path to sustainable development for individuals, teams and organisations. For many Developers who want to focus on their craft, it is sometimes difficult to get a view of Agile development that is neither focused on a project management perspective nor just on the practice of Test-Driven Development (TDD)..

Gojko Adzic's Test Driven Development Workshop

Gojko Adzic's two day workshop on Test Driven Development (TDD) enables you to experience and learn test driven development by doing it. You will be immersed in a realistic TDD project, allowing you to learn the practices and principles of test driven development and try them out in practice. Through facilitated exercises and discussion, you will experience two days of working on an agile test-driven team.

You will use and learn basic Test Driven Development practices including unit testing, refactoring and related agile practices such as continuous integration and pair programming. You will understand the reasons behind TDD and experience its benefits first-hand. By applying what you learn, you will be able to build quality into software from the start, design and develop systems fit for purpose and write code that is easy to maintain and evolve in the future. The is a completely hands-on workshop with coding straight from the start, interrupted by very short presentations to explain the practices and put things into a wider perspective. It is based on the very latest tools, current knowledge and ideas from the community. Find out more here

Practical Agile Testing with Janet Gregory

Janet Gregory's three day practical agile testing course demonstrates how testers can become valued agile team members, how they contribute to delivering a continuous stream of business value, and provides ways to overcome common cultural and logistical obstacles in transitioning to an agile development process. Janet Gregory's Practical Agile Testing course describes the values and principles that help testers adopt an Agile QA mindset, and how the whole team contributes to the success of any testing practices, including test automation.
