Testing without mocking frameworks.
Over the years, my coding practices have changed a lot. From hacking away until it works to TDD/BDD/DDD and everything in between. One of the biggest changes in my developer career has been when, why, and how I test my code. In particular, my view on mocking frameworks has changed a lot.

The goal of this article is to define basic concepts related to testing, trying not to take anything for granted. Why is it important to write automated tests? I asked myself and I did some research because the answer to this question was not obvious to me.

How to run over 30k tests in under 5 minutes | by Daan van Marsbergen | Sep
When I started my professional career I had no idea what a unit test looked like. I think I skipped that part on W3Schools. It didn’t matter, because my first employer was not using tests.

Lessons Learned from Testing and Refactoring Legacy – 24 Days in December
I remember when I first discovered automated testing. I immediately wanted to apply it to all the projects that I was working on, but it didn’t work as well as I expected. In fact, it was a disaster, which is why so many developers shy away from tests after a few failed attempts.

Regaining trust in your test suite with Docker.
