How to test 'untestable'applications and Refuctoring Master Class November 4, 2010

The London Software Craftsmanship and The Software Craftsmanship 2010 have agreed to merge efforts and deliver their talks in a joint session.

The London Software Craftsmanship Community welcome Jason Huggins, creator of Selenium and co-founder of Sauce Labs. Jason will show how you can automatically create product demo videos from your automated tests.
By comparison with "daily rushes" in the film industry, this hands on session will show how to painlessly create great looking demos so stakeholders and customers can see the latest development work without waiting for a show & tell.

Jason Huggins will also look at the challenges posed by HTML5; for example the new canvas tag is in danger of making web applications untestable. Jason looks at how we can avoid this and ensure we still get all the benefits of being able to test our web applications but take advantage of the latest browsers.

For the second part of this evening, Keith Bank-Account & Jason Gorman will demonstrate how to refuctor a simple “Hello, World!” program to maximise the billable potential of the code by making it as complex as possible. Participants will then be challenged to do their own refuctorings to the same example to see who can create the least maintainable – but still working and plausible-looking – code. The winner will receive a lifetime’s supply of green comment characters and a year's subscription to "What Timesheet?".
For this last part of the evening you will need to bring a laptop with your favourite IDE and unit testing framework installed. Automated refactoring tools are highly recommended.
