At the Testμ Conference, Gil Zilberfeld and Anmol Gupta discussed the importance of writing clean tests, equating them to production code and emphasizing the need for similar standards for both. They explored how dirty tests, akin to having no tests, create challenges when production code evolves, and highlighted the significance of clean code principles, such as readability and maintainability, in ensuring reliable software development. Zilberfeld elaborated on code smells, refactoring patterns, and the distinction between good and bad code, asserting that a good test should maintain the same standards as production code. He addressed common issues like unknowingly duplicating code, strategies for employing design patterns in test automation, and the importance of collaborative clean coding practices in team settings. The session also covered best practices for code review, advocating for constructive feedback and focusing on the collective improvement of coding standards. Additionally, LambdaTest, a continuous quality testing platform, was mentioned as a tool to expedite the code shipping process for developers and testers.
