Clearly we should be doing more testing of our tests.
- goatlover 10y agoPerhaps there should be a testing test suite. Call it react-test-tester. Maybe implement ML in Rust to do the test testing.
- yorwba 10y agoYou can regression test your regression tests by running them against previous buggy versions of your program. If the tests do not detect the bug they were supposed to prevent, you have to fix them.
- joshschreuder 10y agoIsn't this a common bug fixing method? Write a test that fails due to the bug's behaviour, then update the code to make the test pass (ie. fix the bug)
- extension 10y agoIt is, but I think the OC was suggesting that the old code can be kept around and used for automated regression meta-testing, which is an interesting idea.
