On September 8th, the Eclipse Testing Day takes place in Darmstadt. I have the honor of giving the opening talk about what I call finding the scope for a test.

A lot of programmers seem to have difficulties with finding the right level for testing existing or new functionality. In general, they include too many classes and a too broadly defined system environment in test dependencies. This leads to trouble with reproducibility and stability.

In my talk, I’ll focus on RCP developers and share a few patterns and best practices that have been helpful in our team for finding the right level for writing a test.

Hope to see you in Darmstadt.
