DevLin2017 - "Testable Architecture" med Aslak Hellesøy

Workshop: Testable Architecture

Primär målgrupp: programmerare, testare, arkitekter, system- och produktägare

Automated tests and executable specifications can only work with software that has a testable architecture.

A testable architecture enables fast and reliable tests that are easy to write, execute and maintain. Many organisations have the opposite - slow and unreliable tests that are difficult to write and expensive to maintain.

What are the key principles behind a testable software architecture? How can you turn an untestable mess of an application architecture into something that is easy to test? Aslak will share proven techniques with you.

During this workshop, we will teach you how to decouple your domain logic from your infrastructure so that you can test at different levels, with maximum confidence and minimum cost.

You will learn

• advanced techniques such as ports and adapters (hexagonal architecture), contract testing and test pyramid - all essential for a testable architecture.
• how to use these techniques with different kinds of architectures such as microservices, SOA or monolithic systems.

We'll get people to work in pairs, but each pair must have access to a laptop. We'll run this using Cyber-Dojo, so no installation is necessary, but you must be comfortable working in Java, C# or C++.
