Request: A talk about different testing methods

[trycatchjames]

Tom and Nathan have taken automated testing to a whole new level. I'd love to see a talk about that gets into the detail about it all.

I could do a talk on mutation testing with Infection?

[trycatchjames]

I'd like to see you unpack all of your testing layers and talk about the pros and cons of it all. I'd like to hear why I'd use a certain testing philosophy for different scenarios.

What is the best bang for buck testing I can do? The 80/20 of what catches the most errors for the least effort and so on.

I did a similar ish talk already last year that I think you didn't see. There's probably a few philosophical things missing from that though

We could talk about the rest of our CI pipeline, how to go about setting it up and why. Since Tom's already done all the types of testing.

During the Q3 2021 meetup, a talk about different testing methods was requested. It's been a while since @tomtomau's testing talk, so might be worth revisiting this.

A talk about testing was requested again during our 2024.1 meetup.
