Presentations
Narcissistic Design: 10 Steps to Complex Code and Job Security
The software industry changes rapidly, but you can protect yourself
from these changes by creating code that is complicated enough that
only you can maintain it.
Generative Testing
Traditional automated testing approches combine input generation, execution, output capture, and validation inside the bodies of single functions. Generative testing approaches gain expressive power by isolating these steps.
Simulation Testing with Simulant
Simulation allows a rigorous, scalable, and reproducible approach to testing. The separation of concerns, and the use of a versioned, time-aware database, give simulation great power. This talk will introduce simulation testing, walking through a complete example using Simulant, an open-source simulation library.
