I look for test data. Up front. Particularly from developers with 3+ years of experience.
It demonstrates you understand the problem and are thinking about the cases that you will have to solve. It also acts as a good safety net for your implementation.
If you've got test data that will catch a bug, I won't count it against you in your implementation. However, if you've got a buggy implementation and you haven't provided test data for it, then it's broken.
- collyw 11y agoI didn't do a lot of tests in my last work, but had a pretty good system. It was in house, so didn't matter so much if the odd bug slipped past. I just changed job, and the system I have inherited doesn't seem to have much in the way of automated testing at all, but it works, and it runs. The logging is really thorough which helps a lot. The bugs I have encountered far wouldn't be caught by tests.
