Test Driven C++ - Phil Nash - CppCon 2020

https://cppcon.org/ https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2020 --- We know that testing is important, but writing tests is hard and takes time - and can be demotivating when you want to hack out features. But what if we flipped the whole thing around? It turns out that by writing tests first the dynamic changes in unexpected ways. Testing becomes easier. Adding features becomes easier. The dopamine hit you get from seeing something work becomes more frequent. Time lost to bugs and regressions virtually disappears. You start to get invited to bigger and better parties! Ok, one of those statements is not guaranteed - but the rest are! If you've never tried TDD (perhaps you have heard of it but been skeptical), or maybe had a bad experience in the past, this talk will give you a sound intro to how it work, how you can get started, and what you can expect to achieve. --- Phil Nash Developer Advocate, JetBrains Developer Advocate at JetBrains, author of Catch/Catch2, co-host of cpp.chat, host of C++ London, chair and organiser of C++ on Sea. --- Work at Hudson River Trading (HRT): https://tinyurl.com/safxfctf --- Streamed & Edited by Digital Medium Ltd - [email protected] *-----* Register Now For CppCon 2022: https://cppcon.org/registration/ *-----*
