Modern Automated Unit Testing

Design effective unit tests that provide fast feedback, support good design, and remain maintainable.

Architectural Clarity: Learn how unit tests shape better system architecture, making code naturally easier to test, decouple, and evolve.
Resilient Test Suites: Reduce test fragility and maintenance overhead by moving away from over-mocking and implementation-dependent tests.
Rapid Feedback Loops: Optimize your test strategy to provide the fast, reliable signals needed for a high-velocity CI/CD environment.

Overview

Go beyond basic testing syntax and learn how unit tests shape architecture, feedback loops, and system quality. This workshop provides a decisional framework for test automation, teaching your team how to avoid flaky, brittle tests and build a sociable testing suite that supports real-world evolution.

Challenges This Training Addresses

Tests that break too often when implementation changes
Overuse of mocks leading to fragile or meaningless tests
Slow test suites that delay feedback in CI
Poorly structured code that is hard to test and evolve
Confusion about what should be unit vs integration tested
Lack of confidence in test coverage quality

Who Should Attend

Software developers writing or maintaining unit tests
Tech leads improving test quality and system design
Teams with slow, brittle, or over-mocked test suites
Organizations aiming to improve feedback speed and design quality
