TPDP E37: Writing Tests in a Development Project

June 5, 2020 Nic Raboy Podcasts

I'm pleased to announce that the latest episode of The Polyglot Developer Podcast has been published!

In Writing Tests in a Development Project, the topic is testing and it features repeat guest Corbin Crutchley, author and co-founder at Unicorn Utterances.

Writing tests can often feel overwhelming, or a chore, and it prevents a lot of developers from including them when developing, but the goal of the episode is to break things down and make it easier to understand and implement.

If you've been curious about the different types of tests to include in the development process, whether that be unit tests, integration tests, end to end tests, or something else, this is the podcast episode for you.

Like with all episodes of The Polyglot Developer Podcast, they can be heard for FREE on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and pretty much anywhere else that podcasts exist. However, if you'd like to listen to the episode here, you can find it below.

If you'd like to learn more about testing and see some examples, Corbin has a tutorial titled, Write Simpler Tests - 5 Suggestions for Better Tests, that you should check out.

Corbin was featured in a few other episodes of the podcast, such as:

• TPDP E32: Getting Familiar with TypeScript for Development
• TPDP E29: Asynchronous JavaScript Development

Want him back on another episode? Drop a message in the comments with a particular subject and I'll see if he is best suited to be the lead on the episode.
