Coding Naked - Unit Testing Those Hard-to-Reach Places

About the Talk
Code coverage with quality unit tests are your first line of defense to reducing technical debt, increasing code quality and accelerating your ability to change and adapt code (without breaking it) while continuing to add new features. Most TDD sessions focus on the easy to test areas of your code base that are almost never what you experience getting back to your desk. Come join international speaker, author, and 6-time Microsoft MVP award recipient, Caleb Jenkin, as he explores why TDD is not a fancy practice for the coding elite, but an understandable, obtainable and practical approach to delivering value for every developer, and how, when done properly, will increase communication and design between the business stake holders and developers.

• Learn to distinguish between the 4 major elements of automated unit tests. Code, Tests, Testing Framework and Test Runners and how they interact with each other to round out your engineering practices.
• Discover how Mocking Frameworks and DI make your tests easier to read and write in everyday life.
• Dig in to better ways to write and organize your tests so that they communicate intent, document your code for you and bridge the gap between development and business needs.
• Explore those “hard to reach” places like the edges of your code, extension methods and other interesting scenarios.
