The Necessity and Implementation of Speedy Tests
Speaker(s)
Jake Scruggs (Backstop Solutions)
Abstract
Your project's software practices are deteriorating every minute the developers wait for slow tests to finish. Once developers get fed up and stop running the tests, disregard for failing builds can't be far behind, and from there it's only a short leap to the albatross of a brittle/irrelevant test suite. Luckily this can all be avoided by adopting some time-saving testing standards and practices.
