Talks
These are talks I have given on various technologies. They were originally PowerPoint decks, but the items below link to Google Docs versions of them.
-
Unit and Integration Tests
- jUnit testing can encompass 'unit tests', which address isolated code modules, and 'integration tests', which test how modules interact with external resources such as databases, the network and a filesystem. This was a talk I gave to the CareDiscovery project developer team at Thomson-Reuters Healthcare & Sciences in Evanston, IL. It was to help clarify the differences between the two types of jUnit testing, and the manner in which they are run. (2011-03-28)
