A Case Against Testing

"With so many testing tools and frameworks at your disposal as an app developer today, it seems we are spoiled for choice. It should be easy to reach that 100% test coverage and 0% crash rate right? But have you ever stopped to think about WHY you wrote that unit test? Or wondered if the 2 hours you spent writing that beautiful test actually increases the stability of your app, the happiness of your users or even makes a dent in the bottom line of your company?

This is a talk about the subconscious testing decisions you make every day as a developer and how they can decrease your productivity without increasing the quality of your work. About how bringing these decisions to the forefront can help you care about the things that matter without sacrificing your code or your sense of security.

A talk about testing less but testing with purpose."
