From Fragile to Future-proof: Front-End Testing Best Practices
My 12-year development career has been on one large enterprise web application under continual development. Our team, averaging 20 full-stack developers, has built what now amounts to 3 million lines of code. While we follow best practices like test automation with continuous integration and upgrade to newer frameworks as we can, there is a unique set of challenges when testing and upgrading front-end behavior with JavaScript frameworks on a large project. We’ll start with my team’s testing strategies as a case study to learn from what we did right and where we stumbled. What could we have done differently? What are the best practices for front-end testing a large web application?
Continuous Self-Improvement
Development is failing over and over again at each step until you succeed, and learning how to do something just in time for everything to change. Continuous learning and growth is necessary to keep up with changes in JavaScript frameworks and web standards, and to grow into a leadership role. Join me to look at the parallels between processes you may already be familiar with from development and approaches to self-improvement proven to be successful in behavioral psychology. How can we automate self-improvement and make real progress on our goals?
