I have seen codebases where the developers diligently insured that every getter and setter method had a test case. They had great test coverage, but not particularly reliable outputs.
OTOH, projects with excellent end-to-end tests tend to have lower coverage but better regression management.
I think this is the point of the article?
- eveningcoffee 10y agoI think that this is one of the points. I think that full test coverage is nor sufficient or necessary for the working software. What matters is the sufficient covering of the edge cases. I think that an additional point to keep in mind is that most probably Kent Beck talked mostly from the point of statically typed languages.
