How to: Software testing with C++ (+ github actions)

Hello and welcome! In this video I talk about a crucial topic in software engineering: Testing. I discuss types of tests, its importance, some principles such as dependency injection and more. Of course the video is not without some practical exercises: we explore, GTest, GMock and even Github actions for running test over CI environments.
