There are several reasons for writing automated tests, such as ensuring the code works as expected, preventing regressions, and driving the implementation. But tests need effort to be written and maintained. So, whether to write and keep a test or not is a trade-off decision. In this workshop, we’ll discuss the trade-offs and how to affect them towards needing fewer tests while keeping quality at the same level. You’ll see how to combine automated tests with the power of the compiler, type system, and vertical slicing to maximise confidence with as little effort as possible.
