In this podcast episode, I welcome with Jan Giacomelli, Staff Software Engineer at Ren Systems, previously with typlessAPI. We talked about test-driven development, unit tests, flaky tests, and much more. Jan shares some exciting war stories from the trenches of testing, explains how he was able to reduce the feedback loop from 45 minutes to only 8 min, and advocates for TDD. Listen to our insightful conversation or read the transcript.

Key points:

  • The benefits of TDD and good test coverage
  • TDD at typless
  • TDD: patterns and anti-patterns
  • The problem of testability
