“Why do we need another testing framework”? Next week, I’m giving a brand new talk at the expoQA conference in Madrid. It’s on Spock – the unit testing framework, not the Starfleet commander. The first question I need to answer Read more…
Had a great fun at the meetup, as always. And the fun part was that my message resonated a lot stronger after the lightning talk before mine, where the speaker talked about how the developers chose a technique that made Read more…
Next Wednesday, 22 May ’19, I’m giving a lightning talk about a very important topic: Dependency Injection. Most developers know what it is, and now it’s time for testers to learn about it too – And that’s why this talk Read more…
