Listen Later

The Elixir Wizards Podcast is back with Season 12 Office Hours, where we talk with the internal SmartLogic team about the stages of the software development lifecycle. For the season premiere, "Testing 1, 2, 3," Joel Meador and Charles Suggs join us to discuss the nuances of software testing.

In this episode, we discuss everything from testing philosophies to test driven development (TDD), integration, and end-user testing. Our guests share real-world experiences that highlight the benefits of thorough testing, challenges like test maintenance, and problem-solving for complex production environments.

Key topics discussed in this episode:
  • How to find a balance that's cost-effective and practical while testing
  • Balancing test coverage and development speed
  • The importance of clear test plans and goals
  • So many tests: Unit testing, integration testing, acceptance testing, penetration testing, automated vs. manual testing
  • Agile vs. Waterfall methodologies
  • Writing readable and maintainable tests
  • Testing edge cases and unexpected scenarios
  • Testing as a form of documentation and communication
  • Advice for developers looking to improve testing practices
  • Continuous integration and deployment
