JSFoo 2013

• Discover the power of dynamic analysis and code crawling for writing and maintaining tests.
• Learn how to write robust tests that cover ten times more code with ten times less effort than traditional unit tests or integration tests.
• Discover that testing can (almost) be fun and (definitely) useful.

Outline

• Alice: Hey Bob, ready for the Big Release. Everything working?
• Bob: Yeah, sure. Why not?
• Alice: I don’t know. Did you test your code?
• Bob: Of course. All the tests pass. What could possibly go wrong?
• Alice: Well, I guess, nothing… Let’s release and go to JSFoo.

Sounds familiar? We all know how this story ends… and it’s not with Bob and Alice having fun at JSFoo. Unacceptable!

In this talk, I will show how to uncover the power of dynamic analysis to improve the coverage of your tests and find bugs before your users. I will describe the techniques to automatically create more tests starting from a single, simple unit test, and demonstrate how it helps JavaScript developers create better code.
