Covered topic just as described with little frill and plenty of examples. Well prepared speaker. Covered both examples, toolsets, common mistakes, and general approach. Could have benefitted from contextualizing unit and integration tests in context of other automated test types and contrasting the two earlier in the talk.

Lacked density/content. Alot of generalizations and lead-ins to ancedotes that weren't finished along with name dropping and personal historical make the start slow. Enjoyable and well presented, but assertions lacked supporting evidence and content. General workflow and framework specs could have been extended to include concrete examples of endpoint data. Could have been a great 1/2 hour talk.

This was a great introduction to TDD. I learned some good information with the common gotchas. One area I struggle with for testing is writing the actual tests. I think this talk helped me with understanding that smaller is better along with when to refactor in the process.

Learned a few things like most char things being handled as streams.

Good as a beginner talk. Wish it had more real world examples.

Great content. Good examples with explanations of the examples and results.

Loved this and all the slides.

Would have enjoyed more of a deep dive into modern architecture reasoning and less history, but overall very interesting.

A bit too basic, could have used some more practical examples.
