Intro
Cusp of another major shift
Paradigm shift of the 90's
Structure to Object-Oriented
Latest Paradigm shift?
Imperative to Declarative
Declarative in Code
Declarative on the Front-end
Let's talk about JavaScript
What does that mean?!!
Software Developer?
I love manual testing
Testing Act of gaining Insight
Test vs. Verification
Verification: Does it still work?
test manually, verify automatically
3 Phases of Verification
No Automation
pathway to hell automation
Yes, at right level to the right measure
What they're really saying is "the design of this code sucks"
Automated verification is the software equivalent of exercising
We're practicing a beautiful craft
