This document outlines a talk by Claudia Roșu about improving developer experience through testing in software development workflows. It discusses feature delivery, testing strategies, and tools like Grails, Groovy, and Spock, which enhance productivity and minimize regression bugs. Key takeaways emphasize the importance of tests in software design, analysis, and feedback while promoting collaboration and efficiency in development processes.
Developer Experience to Testing
- 1. A talk by Claudia Ro uș [email protected] @claudia_rosu Developer experience to Testing
- 2. Agenda ● Feature delivery ● Tests in the delivery flow ● Power of tests in practice ● What's next ● Core ideas
- 3. About me ● Software crafter ● Experience with Groovy, Grails, Spock, Java ● Active in communities
- 4. 1. Feature delivery flow
- 5. Background ● Innovative eHealth application for a general practitioner doctors association ● Client is not a product owner, nor a business analyst ● Development life cycle evolved over time
- 7. 2. Tests in the delivery flow
- 8. Testing strategy Test one isolated behavior of an individual function Test integration of the application with the database or the authentication plugin Test a feature use case from request to save in the database Test one isolated behavior of the UX
- 9. Implementing the strategy Using tests for preventing regression bugs Using tests for learning Grails framework faster Building tests with Grails, Groovy and JUnit
- 10. Groovy and Grails Grails is a powerful web framework, for the Java platform aimed at multiplying developers’ productivity thanks to a Convention-over-Configuration - https://grails.org/ Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language for the Java platform. - http://www.groovy-lang.org/
- 11. Time passes and Package of tests to maintain We want to get away without regression bugs We know Grails&Groovy now Future tests to write
- 12. Reduce tests number Maximize the work not done Invest in Software Design
- 13. Enjoying writing tests Spock is a testing and specification framework for Java and Groovy applications. What makes it stand out from the crowd is its beautiful and highly expressive specification language. http://spockframework.github.io/
- 14. Spock
- 15. Where we are now Using tests for analysis Using tests for software design Using tests for checking definition of done Building tests with Grails, Groovy and Spock
- 16. 3. The power of tests in practice
- 17. Search patients
- 18. 3.1 Analysis
- 19. Initial UI NOM PRÉNOM NE(É) ADRESSE TEL PATIENTS Sélection par MT
- 21. Acceptance tests
- 22. Final UI
- 28. 3.3 Checking definition of done
- 29. Running all the tests Grails test-app unit: running all unit tests→ Grails test-app integration: running all integration tests→ Grails test-app acceptance: running all acceptance tests→ Karma start running all jasmine unit tests→
- 30. Running all the tests
- 31. 3.4 Demo
- 33. And some manual tests
- 34. Results ● Happy customer ● Improved collaboration ● Maximize the work not done ● Faster development life cycle ● Happy me
- 35. 5. Next
- 36. Functional tests for acceptance GEB = Browser automation tool. WebDriver + jQuery + Page Object + Groovy = Easy to write & read functional tests Functional testing answers questions like: “can the user do this” “does this particular feature work”
- 38. 5. Core ideas
- 39. 4 Core Ideas 1. Best prevention of undesired side effects 2. Best analysis tool I have ever used 3. Best and fastest feedback I have received 4. Best software design tool
- 40. Dev Test
- 41. Your Questions? “The important thing is not to stop questioning” [email protected] @claudia_rosu
