- sbov 8y agoI find the opposite tends to happen in Java. In the pursuit of testability, people make libraries much harder to use and understand.
- purerandomness 8y agoWriting good tests is a skill that has to be developed, just like anything else.

Writing good tests is a skill and most developers don’t seem to be as skilled in it as they think. The same concepts power much of Agile too though: XP & Scrum both complement this.
