The Elixir Community's premier conference for Elixir developers and enthusiasts from around the globe.
ElixirConf US, the seventh annual ElixirConf conference, is being taken to an online venue on September 3-4, 2020.
ElixirConf is a global and diverse community, brought together by a passion for Elixir.
The community's physical gathering for the previous six conferences has been the source of inspiration and community growth.
Now the emerging stages of COVID-19 lockdown in different countries, national travel restrictions, and quarantines, prevent us from meeting in person.
But we will not be stopped from sharing our Elixir experiences!
Join ElixirConf and the Elixir community for a respite from the world Sept. 1-4, for a spectacular Elixir event with the latest Elixir news and technology.
Don't miss it!
These are unprecedented times and we don't have all the answers, but here are the current plans.
Two common principles for writing good tests are:
1. Make them *scannable*. Scannable tests make it easy to quickly see what a module is for (if you're trying to understand it) and can better remind you of special design cases (if you're going to change it).
2. Make them *focused* by avoiding any words not relevant to the purpose of the test. Focused tests are usually more maintainable. But, more importantly, they can help programmers think about the problem to be solved and the design that solves it.
In the talk, I won't argue for those principles at any length. Rather, I'll show them in action by converting some typical Phoenix tests into scannable, focused tests. I'll speak about some subset of these topics, all of which I find useful:
I highlighted `PhoenixIntegration` above because my goal is not just to show principles in action but to provide pointers to code ready for use or copying.
