An Introduction to Testing Without Mocks
Programmers need automated tests to avoid wasting huge amount of time manually checking and fixing code. But typical approaches to testing also tend to waste a huge amount of time: they're often flaky, slow, or lock in implementation. In this hands-on coding course, you'll learn about Nullables, a technique for writing tests that are fast, reliable, fully test infrastructure, and don't require architectural changes.
Outcomes
- How to improve test coverage
- Focus on fast, reliable testing without mocks
- How to integrate with your existing architecture
