2022 – How to make your tests keep you focused!

In this talk I highlight the importance of having a fast test suite based on what psychology tells us about it, especially how different time scales for getting the result of something we have done (feedback) affect our brain, being a short feedback-loop the right one to stay in the “flow mode” and a long feedback-loop counterproductive for our approach.

The talk will focus on which bad practices to avoid, and then on how to get a healthy test suite, with special emphasis on acceptance testing. To do so, I will introduce the ‘Ports and Adapters’ architecture and show how to take advantage of it to get the most out of it for our test suite.
