We talk to Martin Costello - a .NET developer with a QA background - about integration testing. We walk through the different types of automated testing and discuss the benefits and purpose for each type.

Martin introduces us to useful tools he uses to write tests within the .NET ecosystem and discusses what we should and shouldn't be testing as well as the metrics that are important when evaluating how well tested your code is.
