This year I'm going to give my brand new talk on documentation. "WTFM: Where’s the F****** Manual⁈" is about
😮💨 understanding why documentation is hard,
📝 learning a systematic approach to know what to document when and in what form,
🙂 make documentation a more rewarding and even fun activity.

Approval testing can help a lot in these cases.
It simply takes a complex object, prints it into a string representation, and stores that in a file.
If the user approves it (by renaming the file), the test is considered green as long as the code produces the same string.
You can than use a diff tool to figure out what has changed and if that change was intended or is actually a problem.
Long, confusing, and overly specific assertion blocks are an issue.
The confuse the test's intention, make it brittle, and hard to maintain. It is also easy to overlook a value that's not checked at all.
🎉 Mein Interview mit @richardseidl im Podcast Software Testing ist seit heute online. Ich habe viel über effizientes Testen von Microservices gesprochen.
Freue mich wie immer über Feedback 😃
