Support Test & Code - Software Testing, Development, Python

Interview with Robert Collins, current core maintainer of Python's unittest module.

Some of the topics covered

• How did Robert become the maintainer of unittest?
• unittest2 as a rolling backport of unittest
• test and class parametrization with subtest and testscenarios
• Which extension to unittest most closely resembles Pytest fixtures?
• Comparing Pytest and unittest
• Will unittest ever get assert rewriting?
• Future changes to unittest

I've been re-studying unittest recently and I mostly wanted to ask Robert a bunch of clarifying questions.

This is an intermediate to advanced discussion of unittest.
 Many great features of unittest go by quickly in this talk.
 Please let me know if there's something you'd like me to cover in more depth as a blog post or a future episode.

Support Test & Code - Software Testing, Development, Python

In this episode, I interview with Joe Stump, cofounder of Sprintly (https://sprint.ly), to give the startup perspective to development and testing.

Joe has spent his career in startups. 
 He's also been involved with hiring and talent acquisition for several startups.

We talk about testing, continuous integration, code reviews, deployment, tolerance to defects, and how some of those differ between large companies and small companies and startups.

Then we get into hiring. Specifically, finding and evaluating good engineers, and then getting them to be interested in working for you.

If you ever want to grow your team size, you need to listen to this.
