Refactoring Tests
Tests are code, too, but they don't get as much attention, often leaving messy, hard to understand tests. Poorly factored tests can also make refactoring production code more difficult, resulting in even messier code.
In this session, we'll start with what we need from a good test, using AssertJ and JUnit features to make it readable and maintainable. We'll walk up the ladder from Helper methods, shared Factory Methods, all the way to Test Data Builders, discussing how and when to make the transition between them. We'll look at test "smells" and how to repair them, using Parameterized Tests. If time allows, we'll see how to "retarget" your tests when extracting a new production class from existing code.
While the code is in Java, the principles and techniques apply to most languages.

This group is for any developer, whoever you are, and whatever language or technology you're familiar with.
Join us if you are interested in testing, DDD, software architecture, clean code, refactoring, challenges of working with legacy code, pairing/mobbing, etc.
As Software Crafters, we improve professional software development skills through practice and helping others learn the know-how.
We do appreciate the following:
Not only working software, but also well-crafted software. Not only responding to change, but also steadily adding value. Not only individuals and interactions, but also a community of professionals. Not only customer collaboration, but also productive partnerships.Looking for the left parts, we found that we needed the right parts.
