Hi, I'll give a 5 minute Lightning Talks at YAPC next week (I'm already in Toronto, yea).
I submitted the talk using this... Topic Apache::Test and hangman Description Show how Apache::Test is useful to refactor hangman I was thinking I'd use Apache-Test to show how to refactor a cgi hangman game, aiming the talk at the type of people who would not attend, say, Geoffrey Young's "Writing Tests with Apache-Test" YAPC talk. People who might not know anything about Apache-Test. 5 minutes isn't a lot of time. Instead maybe I could just give a 5 minute Apache-Test info-mercial type of talk. Here's my current outline, please feel free to comment on it: * Intro - Apache Test is a way to test web applications in an automated way. * Suppose you need to add a feature to this hangman game, maybe something that requires lots of code movement, like an email interface. Without Apache-Test you'd make a few changes, move a bit of code, then click the web app to see that the web app still works. * Show how Apache-Test can be used to test many more test cases. Each point above is expected to take between 60 and 90 seconds of the 5 minutes. http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/summary.html#62 Jim
