Benjamin Bischoff's session at the Testμ Conference focused on using 'Make' to simplify software test runs, emphasizing its longstanding reliability and flexibility in various environments. As an automation tool developed in 1976, Make is built into UNIX-like systems and can be adapted for different processes beyond compiling software, such as testing, thanks to its straightforward syntax that also serves as documentation. Bischoff detailed the components of a Makefile, including rules and recipes, while highlighting its benefits and challenges, such as dependency on tabs and spaces. He also introduced 'just,' a newer command-running solution, but maintained a preference for Makefile due to its versatility in CI/CD pipelines. Additionally, Bischoff shared practical examples and recommended that teams incorporate Makefiles into their projects to streamline processes without requiring extensive retraining. He noted that Make can effectively manage complex tasks by scripting calls to other tools and integrating with various environments, underscoring its utility in software development and testing workflows.
