Having a good set of automated tests finds more bugs, finds them earlier and takes the fear out of refactoring! In this talk I will introduce Unit Testing and Google’s C++ Test Framework, and then go on to show how it was used to test a complex MIDI application. In the process we will learn how to apply this Test Framework to any problem.

I will also share some tips and tricks from many years of experience with random and model based testing. Finally, I will look at some broader subjects like TDD, Mocking and how the approach could be extended to cover audio application testing.

This talk will be suitable for those who have not come across unit testing before, those who have a some experience, and will hopefully be valuable even to seasoned professionals.
