Event description

"Testing Everything* Everywhere** All at once***" with Dr David Thompson

Making sure that code does what it's supposed to - and will keep doing what it's supposed to - can be an ongoing struggle. This talk will survey a few approaches for writing and maintaining good tests for your code.

With examples in Python, this will touch on topics like: data fixtures and factories, mocking between components or systems, and covering complex cases without adding too much technical debt.

About David:

Dr. David Thompson is a senior software developer at Catalyst in Ōtautahi Christchurch, and has been using Python for fun, academia and profit since the late '90s. Recent problem domains include: elections, earthquakes, enrolments, education and some other things that do not begin the the letter E.
