Llewellyn is creator of ApprovalTest framework - to test the "untestable". This framework is:
- An open source tool built into the unit test suites of 8 languages (.net , node js, objective c, java, cpp, python, perl, ruby, php)
- Enables automated test of UI, audio files, XML, and more
Llewellyn is a thought leader in these related areas as well:
- Legacy code rescue -- Within hours – not weeks – you can get locking tests around legacy code, ensuring that changes you're about to make will not break anything else
- Big code migrations -- Getting a sustainable start is quick, even for very large code bases
- Mob Programming -- This new software practice is gaining wide interest everywhere. They're saying "Mob programming is to pair programming what RAID 5 is to RAID 1. Redundancy and fault tolerance are good things!" #mobprogramming
