To sleep in a sea of Tests | Refactoring a testing "framework" from hell (lixcon2026)

Author: CCC media team April 17, 2026 Duration: 16:59
Taking a look at the `functional` test suite, pointing out its concepts and flaws to then take a look at its successor `functional2` Many curses and screams of frustration has the functional test suite brought forth in many - if not all - lix developers. Hence people wanted a successor. In this session, we will talk about all the pain, impurities and falkeyness of the functional suite, look at the features and non-features of functional2, and the pain of migrating tests.
