They shouldn't have to because they'll listen to us and allow us to write and maintain tests as we develop, right?
- rhizome31 11y agoMy take on this is that automated tests is a developer tool and doesn't matter to them. As much as they shouldn't care which text editor we use, they shouldn't need to know that we write tests. In fact I tend to avoid as much as possible commits that only impact tests in case they would look at the SCM history and be tempted to blame tests for a delayed delivery (no "fixed the test suite" commit messages). Also I never explicitly count automated testing in my estimates, it's counted implicitly as part of normal development.
