For several years now I have heard people talking about writing tests, but I've never had the need or desire to learn more. Even after hearing about tests in other talks, I still didn't know why it was important. This year, I decided to actually start testing. In this talk, I'll walk you through the reasons and rational behind testing, and then offer some real-world use cases so you can decide that testing is good for you, too. Think any idiot can easily pick up testing with no help? Come see if you're right. Slides and Sample code available at: deanza.edu/faculty/metcalfkevin/talks.html
