Continuous Testing (CT) is a developer practice that significantly increases the value of automated unit tests. By automatically selecting and running tests on every source code change, Continuous Testing gives you near instant feedback about the correctness of your code. This helps you find bugs as quickly as syntax errors, and greatly improves the quality of the tests you write.

This 1 day instructor-led workshop will be taught using Infinitest, the most popular free Continuous Test runner for Eclipse and IntelliJ.  Your instructor will get your team up and running with Infinitest and will help to remove common barriers to continuous testing, such as slow tests, and discuss how to keep the feedback loop tight as systems evolve and grow.

After the class, students will have integrated a Continuous Testing tool into their development environments. They will know how to run their existing unit tests continuously, and will know how to ensure that future tests take advantage of this practice.
