We all know testing is necessary, but many of us still struggle with the difference between unit tests and integration tests and build cycles that take too long.

This talk will discuss why we write tests, the different types of tests, best practices, and common problems and solutions I’ve seen in different shops, big and small.

All examples will be Java-focused, but the topics are language-agnostic.

The audience should walk away with a new appreciation for fast and clean builds.
