BDD Bialystok/Wroclaw

Presentation on BDD, architecture and testable code I've given at Mobile Bialystok in December 2016 and at LET Swift Wroclaw in January 2017.

1. Behavior Driven Development
6. Behavior Driven Development 6
7. What is a unit test? @eldudi 7
8. A method by which individual units of source code, sets of one or more program modules together with associated control data, usage procedures, and operating procedures are tested to determine if they are fit for use. --Kolawa, Adam; Huizinga, Dorota (2007) @eldudi 8
9. Um, what? @eldudi 9
10. A method by which individual units of source code, sets of one or more program modules together with associated control data, usage procedures, and operating procedures are tested to determine if they are fit for use. --Kolawa, Adam; Huizinga, Dorota (2007) @eldudi 10
11. What is an app? @eldudi 11
12. An app is a set of behaviors created by programmer and expected by user. @eldudi 12
13. We, programmers, have a limited cognition. As all humans do. @eldudi 13
14. We can’t always ‘load’ all of the code of our app into our memory. @eldudi 14
15. This means that we can, by accident, change the behavior of the app. @eldudi 15
16. Preserving behavior of complex systems is hard. In fact, of any system at all. @eldudi 16
17. Enter unit tests. @eldudi 17
18. Unit test is a failsafe to make sure app behavior is preserved. @eldudi 18
19. Test Driven Development @eldudi 19
20. Tests drive the way you code @eldudi 20
21. Always write test first @eldudi 21
22. Tests influence architecture of your app @eldudi 22
23. Tests tell you whether your design became too complex @eldudi 23
24. There is no such thing as untestable behavior Only untestable code @eldudi 24
25. Have to simulate behavior of your dependency dependency dependency? @eldudi 25
26. Need to fake seven objects? @eldudi 26
27. Need to call five functions to simulate a behavior? @eldudi 27
28. Hard to specify clear requirements? @eldudi 28
29. Overcomplicated design @eldudi 29
30. Thinked-through design @eldudi 30
31. First consumer of your API @eldudi 31
32. There is no such thing as untestable behavior Only untestable code @eldudi 32
33. What is testable code? @eldudi 33
34. Testable code == Good Architecture @eldudi 34
35. What is good architecture? @eldudi 35
36. Cohesion @eldudi 36
37. Coupling @eldudi 37
38. Good design A simple definition @eldudi 38
39. Good design » High cohesion » Low coupling » Easily composable » Context independent @eldudi 39
40. Good architecture - principles » Single responsibility » Few dependencies » Depend on interfaces, not classes (yay POP!) @eldudi 40
41. @eldudi 41
42. !!! @eldudi 42
43. http://www.martinfowler.com/ bliki/ DesignStaminaHypothesis.html @eldudi 43
44. SOLID @eldudi 44
45. SOLID Homework » Goruco 2009 - SOLID Object-Oriented Design - Sandi Metz » MCE^3 - Software Paradigms & Patterns — Did We Get It All Wrong? - Jon Reid » MCE^3 - Jorge Ortiz » Clean Architecture - Uncle Bob @eldudi 45
46. What is BDD @eldudi 46
47. Behavior Driven Development Test Driven Development @eldudi 47
48. What's the difference? @eldudi 48
49. BDD aims to improve certain aspect of TDD @eldudi 49
50. BDD tries to help you know what to test @eldudi 50
51. When writing tests don’t think ‘tests’ @eldudi 51
52. Think about ‘behaviors’ @eldudi 52
53. Think about examples how your object should behave @eldudi 53
54. An objects behavior is defined by methods it declares in its interface @eldudi 54
55. You should not be testing internal implementation of your object Only its interface @eldudi 55
56. Work outside-in @eldudi 56
57. Ubiquitous language @eldudi 57
58. Quick & Nimble @eldudi 58
59. class DolphinSpec: QuickSpec { override func spec() { it("is friendly") { expect(Dolphin().isFriendly).to(beTruthy()) } it("is smart") { expect(Dolphin().isSmart).to(beTruthy()) } } } @eldudi 59
60. describe("a dolphin") { describe("its click") { it("is loud") { let click = Dolphin().click() expect(click.isLoud).to(beTruthy()) } it("has a high frequency") { let click = Dolphin().click() expect(click.hasHighFrequency).to(beTruthy()) } } } @eldudi 60
61. describe("a dolphin") { var dolphin: Dolphin! beforeEach { dolphin = Dolphin() } describe("its click") { var click: Click! beforeEach { click = dolphin.click() } it("is loud") { expect(click.isLoud).to(beTruthy()) } it("has a high frequency") { expect(click.hasHighFrequency).to(beTruthy()) } } } @eldudi 61
62. describe("its click") { context("when the dolphin is not near anything interesting") { it("is only emitted once") { expect(dolphin!.click().count).to(equal(1)) } } context("when the dolphin is near something interesting") { beforeEach { let ship = SunkenShip() Jamaica.dolphinCove.add(ship) Jamaica.dolphinCove.add(dolphin) } it("is emitted three times") { expect(dolphin.click().count).to(equal(3)) } } } @eldudi 62
63. Example @eldudi 63
64. BDD - recap » Tests influence your architecture » No such thing as untestable behavior » Think examples/behaviors, not tests » Don’t test implementation, work outside-in » Use ubiquitous language to make examples easily understandable @eldudi 64
