I need your help.

At the Better Software Agile Development Practices conference in November I will present my tutorial entitled Avoid Integration Defects Without Integration Tests. I will describe and demonstrate the design benefits of reducing your reliance on integration tests (specifically end-to-end tests) to gain confidence in the basic correctness of code. I’d like to take sample integration or end-to-end tests from the audience and turn them into good, focused object tests, but at a busy conference, few audience members prepare such material in advance.

Enter you.

If you have some end-to-end or integration tests that you’d like to turn into good, focused object tests that help improve your design while offering the same or better confidence in the correctness of your code, then please contact me to receive instructions on how to send me your sample. I will, of course, give you whatever credit you want, or promise not to identify you if you’d rather remain anonymous. Whether I use the sample in the tutorial, I will work with you to show you how to improve your design through focused, object tests, rather than relying on integration tests.

Thanks.
