Improving Tests With Object Mothers And Internal Dsls

Chris Richardson
Chris Richardson

The document discusses techniques for improving software testing, emphasizing the use of 'object mothers' and internal Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) to simplify test fixture logic and verification code. It highlights the importance of tests for maintaining clean, refactorable code while addressing the challenges associated with complex test setups. The author, Chris Richardson, shares insights from his extensive experience in software development and testing methodologies, underscoring the need for well-structured tests to prevent decay in software applications.
