Beginners Guide to Testing in Rails with RSpec

[coolprobn]

Abstract

Starting to write tests is overwhelming, when I started testing a year back I couldn't find blogs or videos that were beginner friendly (I am writing a blog about it soon too!!)

This talk could focus on following topics:

• Basic terms in testing (describe, context, it, stubbing, mocking, etc.). Basically cover all jargons.
• Writing your first test (a lot of slides for step by step code to approach your first testing)
  • Validations and Public Methods in the Model
  • Requests
  • Views

Not all parts of Rails can be covered for sure in one talk as a talk more than 15-20 minutes can get boring pretty easily so breaking the talk in 2 parts might be the way to go.

I don't want to commit on this yet as I am just giving my first talk after not being able to prepare the presentation for a year 🙈

I do think @zoras dai will be great for this if he is available, I liked the last talk (December, 2022 meetup) he had given for Code Kata with TDD approach.

Thanks for the suggestion @coolprobn

I'll try to give this talk when I can manage some free time. I would like to give priority to other speakers first.
