Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided By Tests (Advanced Topics)

I have decided to combine the last 2 chapters into one reading session, and to be honest I don’t have many notes about them!

Chapters 26 and 27 of the book deal with testing concurrent code, and testing asynchronous code. These topics are pretty advanced, so I am simply scan reading them for now and will use them as a reference point when I need to test this type of code in the future :)

The testing techniques are quite advanced (and the examples are in Java), so they were a little hard to follow. I think the main thing is we should try to avoid timeouts in the tests (as this will slow our system down), and seek to use the more advanced techniques (polling and probing).
