Join hosts Joanna and Arthur in this insightful episode of Testing 1-2-3 as they dive into the evolving world of Rust programming, testing best practices, and the vibrant Rust community. Recorded live from The Brewery in London during a major tech conference, Arthur shares firsthand observations from the event, including keynote attendance, session highlights, and the growing momentum behind Rust’s adoption.

Key Discussion Points:

• Rust’s Testing Landscape: Explore the unique challenges of ensuring quality, safety, and security in Rust code. Learn why the language’s reliance on external libraries demands scrutiny and how open-source tools like code scorecards evaluate project health through code reviews, static analysis, and unit testing.
• Tooling Gaps & Opportunities: Discover why Rust’s ecosystem currently leans on open-source solutions for static analysis and coverage, and why commercial tooling is critical for scalability. Arthur breaks down the hurdles of measuring code coverage via LLVM and the community’s push for robust, enterprise-ready solutions.
• Static Analysis Beyond Bug Hunting: Unpack how Rust developers view static analysis not just as a bug detector but as a way to enforce context-specific coding standards—a paradigm shift for safer, more reliable software.
• Community Momentum: With 400+ attendees and growing interest in cybersecurity sessions, hear how Rust’s community is expanding and what this means for developers prioritizing safety-critical systems.

Featured Insights:

• Why writing custom static analysis checkers is possible but not practical for most teams.
• The role of unit testing and coverage metrics in Rust’s maturation.
• Arthur’s take on the future of commercial tooling and collaborative quality practices.
