About my topic

As browsers are becoming the central platform for software, JavaScript applications are becoming more complex. The likelihood that your code breaks in production gets higher with every line of code, and every new member on your team. After all, we're humans and make mistakes. It's absolutely natural.

In this talk we travel back in time to the summer of 1962 on a mission to fix the most expensive (NASA) software bug in history in a live coding session (Bring your space helmets!). On our mission you'll be introduced to the concepts of unit testing. You'll learn how to utilise unit tests to easily shield yourself from making mistakes and how large tech companies use unit tests to safely ship code into production multiple times per day.

From beginners to seasoned professionals, there's value for everybody in this talk and even if you know it all, at least you'll be entertained.

  • This talk will be an iteration of the talk I gave at Falsy Values on October 12th, 2015 in Warsaw.
  • I've spoken before at Graz JS and two internal company events about es6 and the future of JavaScript, at asyncjs (brighton UK) about functional reactive programming.
  • My company might be able to found my travel, but it'd be great if you could fund the hotel.
