When you write tests, you are interacting with your code. Like any user experience, you may encounter friction. Stubbing endless methods to get to green. Fixing unrelated spec files after a minor change. Rather than push on, let this tedium guide you toward better software design.

With examples in RSpec, this talk will take you step-by-step from a troublesome test to an informed refactor. Join me in learning how to attune to the right signals and manage complexity familiar to any Rails developer. You’ll leave with newfound inspiration to write clear, maintainable tests in peace. Your future self will thank you!
