Title: Test Driven is Driving Me Insane!
Abstract: Now that you have decided to integrate testing into your development
process, you find that when one test breaks, it seems like they all break.
You also find that with so many tests broken, identifying the source of
failed tests is challenging. Another challenge is that occasionally, tests
are just plain hard to write. In this session we will discuss patterns and
techniques for writing tests that are more robust and provide better
information. This includes techniques that you can apply to your design when
writing new code to make testing easier, as well as tools for working with
existing applications that do not have good test coverage.

Speaker: Dennis Burton
Dennis Burton is a developer with SRT Solutions who has helped groups within
large, unmovable companies go from test resistant to test infected by
lowering the pain of transition to testing. His past work includes learning
management systems, precision measurement and statistical applications, and
automotive diagnostic software. All of these applications share a high
velocity of information throughput. He has been around long enough to be old
to some and young to others, but firmly believes that what you do with your
time is more important than how long you have been spending it. Dennis
strives to improve himself by learning from and sharing knowledge with those
around him. His blog is at http://dennisburton.com.
