It has an easy-to-use tabular syntax for creating test cases and its testing capabilities can be extended by generic and custom test libraries (a.k.a. fixtures). In this session\, Pekka Klarck provides a thorough introduction of the most important features of the framework\, its history\, and the typical use cases. The theory part will be kept short and most of the time spent with demonstrations. The first demo will show how to create test cases in practice\, and it also illustrates how to do web testing with SeleniumLibrary. The second demo concentrates on ATDD\, but it also shows how to use SwingLibrary and how to create a custom test library for testing below the GUI.

Over a series of tutorials and exercises\, you will apply best practices including TDD/BDD and mocking to create a full application\, and discover how these concepts are fanatically supported by both frameworks. By the end of this two day course\, you will have learned how to build secure applications and services which will run on multiple platforms against a variety of databases and NoSQL systems\, with full test coverage\, and all with less code and configuration than you would have thought possible.

Martin): The S.O.L.I.D. Principles of OO and Agile Design DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/8819167/ ] What happens to software? Why does is rot over time? How does an Agile development team prevent this rot\, and prevent good designs from becoming legacy code? What is the shape of good design? In this talk Uncle Bob presents the SOLID principles of object oriented software design. These principles govern the structure and interdependencies between classes in large object oriented systems. Uncle Bob will walk you through the justifications\, costs\, benefits\, and applications of these now-famous principles of software design.

Exemplary pieces from past and present are examined and discussed in order to provoke thinking and learn techniques for the present and the future. Although programming is a discipline with a very large canon of existing work to draw from\, the only code most programmers read is the code they maintain. They rarely look outside the code directly affecting their work. In this talk\, Kevlin Henney examines some examples of code that are interesting because of historical significance\, profound concepts\, impressive technique\, exemplary style or just sheer geekiness.
