Developer Testing in the IDE: Patterns, Beliefs, and Behavior
- vog 9y agoWhile most of this fits roughly with my own observations, the following caught my attention: > only a quarter of test cases is responsible for three quarters of all test failures This rate is totally off my personal experience. 25% of test cases lead to 75% of test failures? I'm used to have < 5% of the tests leading to > 95% of the test failures. That is, only few of the tests are really important in hindsight. The only problem is that nobody know which ones are the 5%, so better be safe than sorry.
