Finding more bugs with less work!

Dear Pythonistas,
it's a pleasure to welcome summer in London. But for the ones feeling that's not hot enough, David R. MacIver will generously present a hotter topic (in python development at least).

"Finding more bugs with less work"

Amongst various languages the problem of testing has always had a special place usually deserving professionals dedicated alone to this task. But given the impact it had/has on the final deliverables why software testing is often terrible? David will introduce us to Hypothesis sharing knwoeledge in how testing can be made more efficient and to the point.

For the occasion we'll be hosting the next meetup at onefinestay, generously offering their offices to host the event.

Description:
Software testing is often terrible, because we lack the tools to make it good. As a result we often spend a huge amount of effort on testing and still let obvious bugs slip through. Hypothesis is a new testing library for Python that aims to help fix this, by making your test suite go actively looking for bugs in places you didn't expect to find them. In this talk, the author of Hypothesis talks about the approach behind it and some of the practicalities of using it.
