TEST-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT IN TYPESCRIPT: A PRACTICAL GUIDE

Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development approach in which tests are written for a piece of code before the code is written. The tests describe the desired behavior of the code, and the code is written to make the tests pass. This approach helps ensure that the code meets the requirements and works as intended. In this topic, we will explore how to do TDD in TypeScript, a typed superset of JavaScript that can build large-scale applications.

TEST MATURITY IN TEST AUTOMATION

We will explore the concept of test maturity in the context of test automation.

We will present the benefits that a mature testing process can bring to an organization. We will also discuss the challenges and pitfalls that organizations may encounter when trying to improve their test maturity in the context of test automation, and strategies for overcoming them.
