Code Archaeology with AI

Are you tired of grappling with untested legacy systems that are crucial to your business yet risky to modify? Join Sebastian Bergmann, creator of PHPUnit, for an interactive online session where cutting-edge AI meets tried-and-true characterisation testing techniques!

Legacy code without tests is akin to walking through a minefield blindfolded. Although traditional characterisation testing helps to document existing behaviour, it is time-consuming and often incomplete. In this session, we will collaboratively explore how AI can assist with this process by automatically generating tests that capture the behaviour of our legacy software.

From the Contents

Explore AI-driven characterisation testing techniques to safely document and preserve the behaviour of untested legacy code prior to refactoring
Learn how to use AI tools to generate comprehensive test suites through hands-on approaches
Find out how AI can improve the traditional characterisation testing process by automating test case generation, enhancing coverage, and reducing the time required to implement safety measures for legacy code refactoring
Investigate practical strategies for testing legacy systems using AI to pinpoint critical areas, extract business logic, and generate test cases that capture existing functionality without necessitating code changes
Discuss the unique challenges and opportunities of using AI to generate tests for existing code, and share your insights with experts and peers

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your questions about our training courses

Why are there no full-day online courses?

Our content is designed for optimal online learning: Short, focussed sessions promote concentration and provide time to process what has been learned between units.

Are the training sessions live or recorded?

All our training courses take place live as a video conference and are led by an experienced trainer. Participants can ask questions at any time.

What makes your training courses unique?

Our training courses combine hands-on tasks with live coding and solving real-life problems. Our experienced trainers guarantee a particularly good learning experience.

Are your training courses remote or in-person?

We offer our training courses both remotely and in person in order to meet the different requirements of our customers.

Can you tailor training courses specifically to our needs?

Naturally. We can customise our training courses to the individual needs of teams and their technology stacks at any time.

What advantages do individualised training courses offer?

In-house training courses allow you to arrange individual topics, flexible dates and guarantee targeted learning in a familiar environment. This is usually financially viable for four or more participants.

Is there a certification?

Yes, participants will receive a certificate on request after successful participation.
