Emily Bache explains this in a series of three posts that deal with approvals and mutation testing; the Lift-Up Conditional refactoring technique; replacing conditional with polymorphism.
Quality Excites (QE) is a conference on software testing and software quality assurance that take place in Gliwice, Poland. It provides lectures and workshops for professional software testers who want to learn about the newest technologies and the best practices. All the talks are in Polish.
