Is this a call for balance, or a call not to waste any time on testing at all? Perhaps it's not the latter, but will be perceived that way by some. Disclosure

Disclosure: I am biased towards test driven development. Of course, I also worked, years ago, at a place selling (niche) program development tools. Some value was placed on correctness. YMMV.
- moconnor 16y agoThis is a call for balance. Not testing at all is not a productive use of resources either.
- michaelfeathers 16y agoI agree with both you. The thing is, we don't need to appeal to a sense of balance. It's good practice to write tests for the things we change. But, in every code base under version control, we have data. We can make this empirical. Start aggressively writing tests for the hotspots.
