JSFoo 2017

Most modern web applications rely on internal APIs, one or more frontend applications, many third-party services, and vendor libraries. With complex distributed systems like this, how can developers create a comprehensive test plan that covers everything without slowing development down to a crawl?

In this talk we’ll dive into real-world examples of test plans for complex, service-oriented applications as well as some best practices for testing across a distributed architecture. We’ll see how layers of unit, integration, acceptance, and end-to-end tests can greatly improve the reliability of our applications and make maintaining them much easier in the long-run.
