Some Patterns in Writing Effective Tests Using Unittest2 and Mock

Date: Monday, July 9th @ 7pm

Using Mock and Unittest2 introduces dramatic improvements in how well tests communicate, and how productive you can be in writing tests and mocking components of your system. I'd like to share a couple of ideas I've learned or developed on my own to help make my life in a TDD environment easier, more productive, and less aggravating. I'll go over some basics of how to make use of some new features of the unittest module, and the mock module, and then go into some patterns I've developed that pay dividends in terms of getting feedback from tests, and making them easy to write.
