TestML - Data Driven Testing for All Modern Programming Languages

by Ingy dot Net

In 2004 I created the Test::Base data driven testing module for CPAN. It became popular with several prolific CPAN authors like MIYAGAWA and became the main testing framework for companies like Socialtext and OpenResty, In 2010 I decided to "Acmeize" it and I made TestML with the intent of making it work in all programming languages. I got it going in Perl5/CPAN and a couple other languages. In 2017 OpenResty paid me to write a new version of the language in their proprietary ecosystem, and the resulting idea was really much better. They allowed me to take the new ideas to Open Source and in 2018 I have the new great TestML language. It is currently working in 8 languages (Bash, CoffeeScript, Go, JavaScript, Perl 5, Perl 6, Python 2 and Python 3) and easy to port. Other ports are under way including C++. The official YAML test suite is written in TestML!

In this talk I will:

• Introduce you to the TestML language (it's so simple, most programs are a single line!)
• Show how TestML works well with any language's existing test frameworks
• Show how to use in Perl 5 and 6 and others
• Show how the language is compiled to Lingy (a JSON based Lisp)
• Show how to port TestML to a new programming language or test framework
• and much more!

"No talks. You may opt to take up to 60 seconds to complain about Big Data. No obligation to read the paper."

We'll start by letting anyone who wants to take up to a minute to tell us what they've been doing with data lately.

This month's paper is What’s your ML Test Score? A rubric for ML production systems by Eric Breck, Shanqing Cai, Eric Nielsen, Michael Salib, and D. Sculley. Read it or don't - the goal is just to have something to start conversations. "Did you read the paper?" will do nicely.

Mention @PDXBigData on Twitter with the link to the full paper to suggest papers for future sessions.

There will be food.

We'll be having a meetup to celebrate the first anniversary of the Kubernetes 1.0 release, which we'll do by talking about the 1.3 Release.

Topic:

Kubernetes 1.3 Features

Kubernetes 1.3 was released a couple of weeks ago. It includes PetSet, AutoScaling, and more. Josh Berkus will talk about a bunch of Kubernetes 1.3 features, especially PetSet. He'll demonstrate the ones which are practical to do.

Since this is the first anniversary of Kubernetes 1.0, we'll have STUFF! Such as stickers, coloring books, and other swag. Also cake!

Location:

Urban Airship 1417 NW Everett St, Suite 300

This meetup is sponsored by Urban Airship, Google, Red Hat and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

After a brief hiatus, PDXNode is back in full swing!

This month’s presentations include:

• Signal Processing with JavaScript, and the awesome power of the WebAudio API – Ben Michel
• Hapi User Authentication via JWT – Milan Loveless

When the talks are over:

When our talks are over there will be time for Node developers to hang out and get to know each other!

If you’re new to Node.js:

If you’re new to Node, or just generally curious and want to learn more about it–we’ll have a newcomer’s-corner where you’ll be able to get help with all initial setup, and receive a quick intro.

We’re really stoked to see you there!

~ In partnership with Urban Airship and Uncorked Studios, Code Fellows presents ~ Diversity in Tech: How do you do it... and why?

At this event, leaders from PDX tech companies that have had success in diversifying their teams will discuss how they've done so and why. They'll talk about where they source candidates, the resulting company culture, and why a diverse team matters to their bottom line. We'll hear from Planet Argon, Uncorked Studios, Free Geek, and Urban Airship.

After the discussion, get your elevator pitches ready for Flash Intros! This is where job seekers get two minutes to connect with CTOs and hiring managers from the Portland tech community. Bring resumes and/or business cards.

Space is limited, and registration is required. Doors will open at 5:50, with the program starting shortly after 6 pm. http://techdiversity-how-why.eventbrite.com/?aff=calagator
