Testing has always been a subject of attention. Nowadays modern libraries come with their own test suite, usually a unit test suite. Therefore, enterprise developers and students might have the perception that testing is a boring task.
Testable, is a web-based application built with reactjs to teach unit test teaching for professional developers and students that uses gamification as a teaching strategy approach.
In this scenario, the talk presents the challenges faced during the development phase such as:
- Why javascript in the first place?
- Understanding javascript code with AST
- Front end patterns used
- Tracking system and animations
As well as the gamification part of it:
- Should we use gamification an alternative strategy?
This talk was hosted by MadridJs:
