Alt.net Tools Night 7

Tiang's latest gig involves writing high-volume high-performance business and risk management dashboards for Periscope Corporation, with clients across a number of public and private, state and national enterprise, including the facility management of all Australian post offices nationally. Thanks to MiniProfiler, he has improved the dashboard performance, made new friends, and has become a better developer. Cucumber is Bullshit (and other rants) - James Bach Since 1982 I have programmed computers for a living.
But for most of that time I have used my coding skills in the service of testing. I have managed test tool projects and written test tooling. My team created one of the first code coverage analysis tools for the Macintosh. I thought that I invented data-driven automation in 1988, but later learned that everyone invents it. It's like a rite of passage. I am on a test-support programming project right now. My point is: my experience with tool-supported testing is extensive.
The Israeli ALT.NET group is having its second tool night Monday the next week on the. 12/07, 18:00-21:00. Sears offices, Ekershtein building A.
And yet I think Cucumber is a silly, wasteful, irresponsible tool; TDD is not a best practice; tests cannot be automated; and testability is my salvation. You're all TDD exponents by now and really good at Red-Green-Refactor.
But somewhere along the way we still manage to write code that doesn't quite do what the customer wanted. Micro Focus Cobol Workbench. So let's take the TDD idea and step it up one level so that we write code that satisfies a User Acceptance Test rather than a Unit Test. This also known as Behaviour Driven Development - BDD. This session will show you how at DotNetNuke we use SpecFlow and Watin to implement UATDD (BDD) so that we have executable specifications!! The session will show how we built and abstraction layer for Watin and a reusable library of steps for SpecFlow and how we use these tests with Team City to increase the quality of DotNetNuke continuously.

====== This is a one-evening event, during which a few topics are presented, in short sessions (30 minutes each), on focused issues, usually involving the specific use of a specific part in a tool or a technology. This encourages a “no bullsh*t” type of knowledge sharing, through which attendees get highly valuable content, in a focused manner. ====== Tuesday, June 27th, 18:00-20:30 WHERE? ======= Sears Israel, Building A, 5th floor, Ha-Menofim St 9, Herzliya AGENDA! ======== • Serverless solutions for backend development ( Yoni Davidson) • Building your first chatbot (Boris Modylevsky) • Graph databases – Lesson learned from a real world POC ( Ohad Israeli) More information can be found on the event website.
