• Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How to Test

  by Jon Larkowski

  We all believe in testing (right?). But, are we testing the right things in the right places with the right techniques? Testing is about risk management, return-on-investment, and opportunity cost vs. new features. The world of testing shifts fast. We'll cover what's up lately with various topics: when to unit test, when to use model/view/controllers tests vs. integration tests, Cucumber vs. Rails integration tests, and the powerful-but-underrated "clicking on stuff" technique.
