Portrait of Sam Jones

Sometimes all we need is a good refactor. I’ve found that nothing recharges a team like the pursuit of positive change. I am a conference speaker and community organizer. I am a fan of functional programming, a partisan of pragmatic process, and a counselor of software craft. My main focus is the growth of those around me.

  6. Test organization with contexts

    When testing we group common behavior and ideas. We can extend this further by using test contexts around the natural shared contexts of a subject under test.
