Inheriting an untested legacy codebase and having to maintain and improve it can be off-putting even in a best-case scenario. This talk shows, with practical examples and tips, how to use Behat to write system tests that improve your confidence to refactor a piece of legacy code. It includes topics like API tests, mocking other (REST) API's, and automating browser tests. I think it would have been nice to add some hints about how to factor the database into the equasion, but other than that, it is a great talk - especially for those who are new to Behat and system testing.

Didn't know much about DDD and you really sucked me into it.
Great interaction with the attendees and lots of appropriate humor.
Didn't check my phone during the talk and that says it all. ?

The name Chris Pitt is always a guarantee for an awesome talk. I saw a different version of this talk before an he further improved it. It was entertaining, informative and now I need to play minecraft. 5/7, would watch again.

Good talk. I like symfony, but some examples on how to use the message component package without the symfony framework would make a great addition.

It was good to found out that I was already doing the stuff shown on a daily basis. I have to agree that is was not a talk for a intermediate level.

Nice talk, but I had hoped that we went a bit into the basics of some algorithms to get a better understanding how for instance a hash is created. Luckily some books were listed as reference.

I thought I'd already found out most new things about Mysql 8, but as usual Gabi proved me wrong :)

Not a bad talk. I've seen much better talks from Shawn, but it was nevertheless a very useful talk with good points

Good talk. Too fast at the start but luckily slowed down towards the end. Useful points.

Interesting talk. I'm definitely going to try state machines in my next project.
