Unit Testing for the Rest of Us

"For those of us that have not had the opportunity to work in an environment that promotes Unit Testing, it can be difficult to find time to experiment. This session will introduce Unit Testing, dive into a .Net project with MS Test, and explore productivity and business values that Unit Testing can provide."
