Fixing Design with Tests - Michael Feathers, R7K Research & Conveyance | Craft Conference, 2023

Automated testing is often described as a way of verifying behavior or a way of supporting refactoring. Beyond those two uses there is a third one. Tests can be used to gain feedback about the design of existing systems. In this talk, Michael Feathers will describe testing techniques that you can use to assess the design of your system and determine whether its modularization supplies adequate support for your development efforts. Beyond this, you will learn how to develop tests that aid specific refactorings and impose new boundaries in code. This talk was recorded at Craft Conference 2023.
