DDD <3 end-to-end UI-tests

Thursday morning 10:00 - 12:00 CET (UTC+1)

Speakers

Jimmy Nilsson and Andreas Cederström

Description

Traditionally UI-based end-to-end (e2e) tests have been both time consuming to write, extremely brittle, sensitive to intermittent problems and cumbersome to troubleshoot. As a result, most software development teams don’t write UI-based e2e tests, instead they rely on (at best) automating the lower parts of the test pyramid and manage the top with manual labour.

We suggest that you give UI-based e2e testing a new chance, but with a different approach this time and with modern software tools. In this workshop we will elaborate on how e2e testing fits gracefully with DDD. It will be part of your design process, for example regarding evolving the ubiquitous language. It’s one more effective tool you will benefit from to get better collaboration between domain experts and software practitioners when creating and delivering business value.

Join us in exploring hands-on how UI-based e2e testing can be a natural part of your software design process. Discover how it will help you with how to write all the other tests as well as the production code in a good way. Be prepared for a lot of fun coding!
