Presentation: A pragmatic approach to automatic testing in Access and VBA
Speaker: Philipp Stiefel
Presentation
Most developers will already know about Unit Testing, Test Driven Development (TDD), and Integration Testing. While these techniques have become very common in all sorts of software development projects, they are still hardly used by Access developers.
Automatic testing is an invaluable skill for every developer, even in Microsoft Access!
I will tell you why and how to learn it. This will include…
- Why I test automatically
- A short introduction to the terminology and techniques,
- The raw essence of automatic testing,
- What to test and what not to test,
- The most basic way of automatic testing in Access/VBA (no tools),
- Tools/Frameworks and why to use them
- TDD or no TDD?
