Bonne pédagogie de Fabien. Beaucoup d’informations importantes distillées au cours de la formation pour agrémenter le support de cours et qui permettent de réfléchir sur l’importance des tests pour clarifier le code et permettre d’améliorer la compréhension du code pour des personnes arrivant sur un projet.
