Testing can be a complex and thankless task. The technologies change so fast that your tools don’t work as they should. Your tests become brittle and are hard to relate to customer requirements. This talk looks at the latest techniques and tools for easing some of these burdens.

Topics include behavior driven development (BDD), domain specific testing languages (DSLs), scripting languages (Groovy) and a range of web, SOAP, and database testing libraries (JUnit, EasyB, WebTest, HtmlUnit, Tellurium, Robot Framework, JBehave, Cucumber, DbUnit, SoapUI, JMeter and more) and testing techniques.

In this session, you will learn one thing: how to enable emergent design in a database. The reality is that database development is different from application code development. They are similar, but databases bring about some forces that we haven’t given much thought.

This session challenges traditional, foundational database development techniques and proposes a new framework into which Agile processes, as well as techniques such as TDD or refactoring, can better fit.
