Extreme Test Makeover at Agile '06
Posted by wwake on July 26, 2006 at 07:02 PM | Comments (1)
Brian Marick and I hosted "Extreme Test Makeover," where people could bring their laptops with code and tests, and have an experienced tester/programmer review them.
Observations by participants:
- Watij tests in Fit are too long/confusing to read for customer.
- You could write it in JUnit instead of Fit
- Break them up into small focused tests
- Neat new delegate syntax (with .Net 2.0)
- Descriptive variable names are good [even] for short term variables.
- Keep tests focused on one purpose - If a test needs 3 things to work, create 3 tests
- Generic isn't always useful.
Thanks to our participants and our experts: Bob Martin, Brian Button,
Janet Gregory, JB Rainsberger, Jim Newkirk, Jim Shore, Lisa Crispin,
Micah Martin, Randy Coulman, and Ward Cunningham.

Someone wrote to ask about the Watij tests - were they written in a style centered around domain-level actions, or using the lower-level Watij API directly? They suggest that if you build up an API suitable for your domain, you won't find the tests so long/confusing.
