The ability to test a system is not accidental, it is a deliberate action that we have to bake into a system. The benefits of rapid feedback we gain from tests is significant, whereas the consequences for the inability to test is huge.
In this presentation we will discuss the reasons to build for testability, the approaches we can take, the tools we can use to support our efforts, and how to guide a team along to realize good feedback loops.
