Thanks Matt! That was great. Learnt a lot and delivered with a nice touch of humour and humility. Thanks for sharing your production hazards ?

Great points on the many ways of using PHPUnit for testing outside of the standard practices.

Fantastic talk, learnt loads. Brunty denies it but he clearly knows his stuff!

Great talk and really rather funny

Incredibly helpful! Loads of testing talks hammer in the basics and the ideal scenarios, but this is the only one I’ve seen which addresses the edge cases and situations where the ideal practices can’t work.

Crammed a lot in, maybe too much as demos felt a little rushed. I'm going to follow up and find out more though, so a worthwhile talk.

Good talk, bit too quick in advancing from slide to slide though!

I really enjoyed this talk.

Seb set the scene well and introduced what is a common problem.

I took away two points:

1. The importance of a basic end to end test to support initial refactoring
2. Branching by abstraction as an option to facilitate migration

Good overview of machine learning concepts, but it overran and so a lot of the interesting detail was rushed or missed. Also had a lot of US-centric terms, jokes and references which didn’t really work in Scotland. Docked a star, but otherwise a great opening keynote.

Great speaker, very interesting talk. Almost took a star off for over running but just couldn't do it
