I'm geing beer!
Tests
"They take too long to write!"
"They take too long to write!" "I don't know how
to write them"
"They take too long to write!" "I don't know how
to write them" "My code is perfect"
"They take too long to write!" "I don't know how
to write them" "My code is perfect" Lies! Lies! Lies!

What if others could see if your tests were passing
without running the code?

Many third party services can be hooked into GitHub
Status API
Now someone visiting the Pull Request can know what's going
on
Status Types
History of timeline statuses

Teach by doing
This was always my main motivation with Hubot - teaching
by doing by making this visible. It's an extremely powerful teaching technique. - @rtomayko
Signal vs Noise
Next Steps
Easy to run tests
More tests get wrien
Or collaborate
What's the state of the Pull Request?
What has been happening on the Pull Request
Your chatroom could be your office
Use robots

How do things look?
Don't bother me
Keep Deploying. Keep Building. Do it Faster & Safer.
