Thank you very much for listening to my course. We started out by going over what is [unit testing](https://www.artofunittesting.com/definition-of-a-unit-test "Definition of a Unit Test (artofunittesting.com)") and test development. We moved on to using mocks, fakes, and [stubs](https://livebook.manning.com/book/the-art-of-unit-testing-second-edition/chapter-3#ch03lev1sec1 "Introducing stubs (The Art of Unit Testing, 2nd ed., ch. 3)") to make our test more maintainable, readable, and [trustworthy](https://livebook.manning.com/book/the-art-of-unit-testing-third-edition/chapter-7 "Trustworthy tests (The Art of Unit Testing, 3rd ed., ch. 7)"). We continued with acceptance testing, cucumber, and we finished up with using continuous builds and [continuous delivery](https://leanpub.com/pipelinedriven "The Holy Grail of Continuous Delivery (pipelinedriven.org)") to ship our product. I hope that you enjoyed.
