After more than 10 years of development, our pet project, Fluent Assertions has almost reached the 250 million downloads. Providing a high quality library like that doesn't come for free. We've been trying to write code that is clean enough for our contributors, write tests that are self-explanatory, ensure breaking changes are strictly controlled and try to make it easy to use.
In this talk, I'd like to share the tools and techniques we have been using, how they've enriched our day jobs, and how they may do that for you too.
I'll talk about the release strategy, documentation, versioning, naming conventions, code structure, the build pipeline, automated testing, code coverage, API change detection, multi-targeting and more.

Great library, cannot even imagine this doesn’t have more Kudos. Thanks Dennis! Focussing on readability in code and tests is a worthwhile endeavor. Love this Library!

If your code is hard to test, your code is designed wrong. If your tests make your code hard to refactor, your code is designed wrong. If refactoring is hard, your code is designed wrong. Actual TTD where you write the tests first, avoids all of that, and makes it easy to get good test coverage.
