I've used Jakobo Heuser's unit test code that you can get at Google. This will be a really informative talk with practical applications the moment you leave.

The ideal format for this panel is going to be something that brings together the holistic unit testing process.

This is pegged Intermediate because I'd like to set a baseline of familiarity with unit testing instead of soaking up the panel explaining the value of unit testing and providing the primer, but if there's enough interest in that, the level of the panel can be scaled back since it seems to be the only testing based panel being offered.
