TOPIC: Building Testable Applications
The latest software development tools and techniques are delivering more functionality faster than ever, yet these productivity gains are often lost during the test phase because these applications can be tested only manually. This happens because generated code is generally treated as throwaway, which means that automated test scripts can’t be reused. In other cases developers don’t expose the information that automated tests need to work, or incorporate third party components that aren’t accessible.
Find out what it takes to develop applications that support test automation and enable the long term maintenance of test libraries, and learn how to educate both development and senior management about the importance of designing in testability.
