Intro to Unit testing for WordPress plugins and themes

How fast does your team ship new features? And do you have a repeatable process for testing your application to verify that features work the way they were designed, and fail in ways that you’ve expected? Adding unit tests to your workflow guarantees you from ever having to go back and fix the same bug over and over again, amongst many many other benefits.
In this talk 30 minute talk, you will gain a solid foundation of what unit testing is all about, and how you can get started with some practical tips and advice.

Audience

This talk is geared for developers of all levels. You don’t need to know anything about unit testing and all that jazz. You will have plenty of time to ask questions and get help so you can start practicing unit testing for your project.
