• Introducing TestScribe, an open source tool to make testing easier

  11:15 AM Saturday   Room: R1-302

  I've been a professional developer for over 15 years, and in my experience I've learned how powerful and rewarding it is to test working code as it is built. At Box, we test code early and often to avoid running into problems further down the line. In fact, for every change we make, we run over 100,000 tests! However, I've always been frustrated with manual test generation, which is tedious and time consuming. Failing to find a good solution, I created a tool called TestScribe to address this problem. TestScribe lets developers focus on choosing inputs and interpreting outputs, taking repetitive work out of the testing process. It makes developers' lives easier without sacrificing the fun of designing test cases. I will demonstrate how the tool works, share my experience using the tool and answer questions.
