Unit Testing for Learning

The concept of unit testing has been around for a long time, yet many software developers don't fully understand the benefit of unit testing. This session will briefly cover the basics of unit testing, along with what makes a good unit test. With a baseline established, this talk will explore testing for class design, testing to capture requirements, and "listening" to how unit tests prompt us to create better design. The talk will touch on using tests to explore larger architectural issues and as a tool for approaching learning in general.
