DCJS[71] - Testing for Value with Peter Cho

July's talk will be a persuasive dialogue on effective testing methodologies by Peter Cho! He'll discuss things to look out for when building out your testing suite. The talk is mostly technology agnostic and not too framework-specific (e.g. react, angular), but examples may use popular frameworks (e.g. jest, mocha) for demonstration purposes. Topics include:

• Is it worth writing tests to verify the internals?
• Code Coverage: Fallacy or a quantitative metric?
• What are the different types of tests and what is their place in the testing ecosystem?
• and much more!
