Software Quality Assurance Tooling

In this workshop, we will investigate a variety of tools to ensure a software project is kept readable, clean, up to date, and as close to bug and warning free as possible. We will primarily focus on Python tooling, though much of what we cover will be applicable to other languages as well. We’ll cover testing, coverage, and especially static checks, which give can give you some assurance over even untested code. We’ll look a bit at packaging, as well.

Be sure to also attend "Gotcha! How to Write Software Tests to Improve Code Quality" (https://my.princeton.edu/rsvp?id=1924494) which takes place 90 minutes before "Software Quality Assurance Tooling" in the same room.
