Automated Testing in Sakai Development - Introduction -- 052

Automated Testing in Sakai Development - Introduction

Session 052

Josh Holtzman, David Haines

Wednesday
1:30 pm-2:30 pm
Room: Rm408

Session Abstract

Developing Sakai tools can be a daunting task, requiring extensive planning. However, that planning can be more flexibly integrated into the development process by using mock objects to facilitate test-first development. Learn how to jumpstart code writing and support high test coverage with mock objects.
