Continuous Regression Testing for Safer and Faster Refactoring in C++

Explore continuous regression testing techniques for safer and faster refactoring in C++ through this comprehensive CppCon talk. Learn how to build an effective regression testing framework, integrate it with CI pipelines, and avoid common design pitfalls. Discover practical strategies for identifying software regressions during development, with a focus on C++ systems that demand high safety and performance standards. Gain insights into automating test execution, profiling binary sizes, and tracking exported symbols in shared libraries. Through hands-on demos, master the end-to-end workflow of detecting regressions in various C++ development scenarios, including function refactoring, dependency upgrades, and build toolchain updates.
