I will start with introducing what testing is, and which parts of a web application can be tested with different methods. I will continue with introducing the test-driven development model - as counter model against traditional software development models, followed by a summary of how a development team could be organized to produce better quality code. After a very quick introduction into Unit Testing and the benefits and problems it brings I will conclude my session with a number of case studies of major and smaller software development teams regarding Test-Driven Development and what it did to their code quality.

Nice, even overview of TDD. I especially liked the pragmatic approach to TDD, and the emphasis on its problems. TDD zealots often hail it as a magic bullet. Slides could use a little more "oomph".
