May Python meetup: Testing Topics
In response to a member-suggested idea, we've got two Testing advocates for May:
Marshall Weir: Testing, Where Do I Start?
Marshall will cover basic unit test concepts and quickly move to making your tests motivating, easy to run and adding testing to an existing project. He's aiming squarely at developers who have projects they want to use testing for, but don't know where to get started.
Have you wanted to become test-infected but couldn't find the start of the thread to pull? Marshall will help.
Stephan Richter: How to Test the Hard Stuff
Stephan will cover testing network-driven components, RDB stubbing, test setup layering and stuff like that. Recently he used manuel to do this sort of testing by simulating CLIs and Shell access in a doctest-style test, so he may cover that as well.
Bring your testing challenges and the impossible to automate projects that haunt you at night, we'll see what Stephan can do with them.
We're meeting as usual at the Microsoft NERD Center, 1 Memorial Drive in Cambridge. People will be there starting at 6:30, talks begin at 7. There will likely be pizza donated by Microsoft.

Venkatesh.The two presentations followed by Q&A almost covered the complete subject - for beginner to the experienced. I now have leads to automate the tests and great new ideas to improve my testing process and make it effortless for the rest of the team.

Aron GriffisMarshall and Stephan were great speakers. It was neat to get two perspectives on testing in one evening, and the QA discussion was lively. General consensus that test-driven development is the Right Way. Thanks to MS for providing the space and to Ned for facilitating the meetup.

Justinus Menzel- great presentations - great discussion I got a lot out of it. Can't wait to apply those ideas to my own projects.
