SUMMARY:From Fragile to Fearless: Writing Tests That Last
DESCRIPTION:We all know writing tests is important to ensure that our code 
 behaves as expected. Tests should not only ensure that our new code is cor
 rect\, but they should also serve as a means of detecting regression bugs 
 early.Most of the unit tests I’ve seen in my previous projects is\, howe
 ver\, coupled to the technical implementation\, which makes it hard to det
 ect regression issues! Bugs are often introduced while refactoring existin
 g code. Refactoring should be a task to improve the existing code\, withou
 t altering the functionality.If our tests are coupled to the structure of 
 the code\, we will have to update our tests while refactoring. This change
  can cause programming mistakes\, because we don’t have working tests wh
 ile completing the refactoring.During this presentation\, I’ll elaborate
  on two different styles of writing unit tests. We will explore different 
 opinions about the definition of a unit\; and we will explore how these op
 inions are translated into tests. Very often\, these tests are called soli
 tary and sociable unit tests.I will demonstrate the difference with some p
 ractical code examples\, which will clarify the pros and cons of the diffe
 rent styles of writing tests. But we will also explore the subtle differen
 ces between the sociable unit tests and integration tests.Afterwards\, I b
 elieve that you will be able to write tests that can survive refactoring t
 he code while minimizing the amount of work to keep the tests running!\nSp
