About the talk:
How do you make your code more testable? One way is to make your classes smaller, so they're more directly testable. An easy way to do this is to look for the Primitive Obsession code smell and create new classes that better represent your domain than plain old integers and Strings. Then the magic happens: you'll see that behavior spread throughout the codebase is another code smell: Feature Envy. The new class becomes an attractor of that behavior, providing a better abstraction and an easier way to test it.
