The Future of Unit Testing

I managed to get the powerpoint presentation for this session. So there's not much point copying all my notes here. The bottom line is:

• UI unit testing is hard, and doesn't look like it will be cracked soon.
• Unit testing multithread stuff is probably the next big thing. Microsoft has been investing in better debug suport for multithread apps as well as visualizers and analysers. Some of these things we'll be seeing is VS.NET 2010
  
• PEX is a project that aims to auto-generate tests. There is a danger that this will be obused. It essentially can only test edge c onditions with respect to if app code crashes or not. Logical tests must still be manually performed.
• Current we page testing tools (e.g. Watin, Watir) don't test AJAX stuff, so that has to be addressed
• JsUnit for javascript
• Adoption rate with respect to Unit testing and test driven development still needs to achieve a critical mass
• IOC containers. Very important.
