📄 About the talk
You’ve probably been writing unit tests for years, and hey, they even pass! But what if I told you... most of them might be doing more harm than good?What does "effective" mean, anyway? Thats a great question, it's something that we all have unknowingly avoided for years.
If it answer would have been short, I would have written it here and retired!
Come and join us in an interactive session were, we’ll boldly look those test cases in their eyes and ask:
- Why the standard way of writing unit tests is basically a masterclass in pain and regret
- How applying clean code rules to tests can turn them into unreadable messes (ironic, right?)
- Why having one assertion per test is not overkill, unless you enjoy debugging 12 things at once
- How test fixtures can be your best friend... until they go rogue and take your suite down with them
- How naming your test method like testPositiveCase() is not helping anyone
📝 Takeaways
- You'll walk away with a fresh way of looking at your test suite — knowing what’s worth keeping, what needs fixing, and what should probably just be deleted.
- You’ll start to see the difference between tests that help you move fast and those that just sit there looking green and lying to you.
- You’ll get better at spotting tests that feel off — even if they pass — and learn what to do about them.
- You’ll learn why naming, structure, and clarity matter more than clever test setups or strict rules.
- And most importantly, you’ll feel more confident making decisions about tests: when to trust them, when to rewrite them, and when to just start fresh.
