Why Developers Should Love Testing

Link to event in the comments

About the talk-
We know that test automation is often discussed as being a “best practice” in modern software development, but as a developer, why should we love automated testing? In this presentation, we will learn how reliance on manual testing and processes for validation lies at the heart of some of the most difficult problems in software development. We will then cover practices and principles for developing reliable, portable, and maintainable automated tests. This will help developers not view automated testing as a chore but as a central aspect of our work that helps us deliver better services to customers!
