Talk 26: Tame Complexity by Embracing Simplicity

📣 What are we talking about?
As a growing company, our systems and codebase are becoming more and more complex every day. We want to introduce you to a few of N26’s approaches on how to ensure that with increasing complexity, we can confidently & frequently deploy to production.
Both of our talks will be focused on increasing the test coverage in a meaningful way, providing you with some useful tips & tricks when it comes to unit-testing. We will also cover effective domain modelling that helps us to improve quality, readability and maintainability while requiring us to write less tests.
