This is fascinating to someone working in the open source Web application space. Large (but decreasing, thankfully) pockets of our culture still need convincing about test coverage; clients still can't be sold on its value.
- adrianN 10y agoClients can be sold on bug free features though. Good test coverage is a good way to get those. Past a certain point more tests will probably cost more than fewer bugs will pay, so there is a natural trade-off.
- sqeaky 10y agoThis is very true. To build on it Different domains need to understand that trade off is in different places. A self driving car needs and financial software need to be low on bugs, but will rarely kill hundreds like a bad software in power plant or nuclear missile might.
