[Virtual Workshop] Mocking Demystified: How to make your unit tests stronger with mocks
Workshop Description
Even – and especially – in the age of AI, unit testing remains a critical part of software development. Unit testing is more than just a tedious task on the way to deployment – it is an opportunity to truly evaluate what our code is doing.
Effective unit testing tests only the code you own, but with so many external services and APIs, that can be a challenge. That’s where mocking comes in. This talk will demystify mocking with a real world demonstration and hopefully re-frame unit testing as a whole.
Workshop Presenter

Liz loves pizza, plants, pugs, and Python. She is especially fond of the magic that happens at the intersection of tech and community.
