Topic:
A Zero Tolerance for Defects Mindset by Jim Kudirka
As software developers we must hold ourselves accountable for producing bug-free software. Our development process should yield the attitude "we dare QA to find a bug in our code."
This session will cover strategies and techniques for how quality is earned during development. We will cover Unit and Integration tests, what they are, when to write them, and a decades old approach for determining how many tests to write.
Finally, we will discuss some best practice techniques and conventions for organizing your tests that will set you up for success.
