Many times developers rely too much on mocking tools for testing. This can have some downsides like coupling the tests too much to implementation details, and creating a fragile test problem. Using fakes as an alternative we can alleviate this issue.

In this presentation we are going to see:

\- Why testing is fundamental for software engineering
\- How we can write better tests
\- Usage of test doubles\, and their pros and cons
\- A live coding session to show how Fakes can help us to have better tests

Participants will get a better understanding on why testing and having good tests is important, and some techniques to make our tests better.
