I think the root of many testing problems is that people write code and continuously test manually until they think it works correctly. Then, they start writing some automated tests.
What I think is much more effective is to write test instead of manual testing while developing. That is, what you would do by hand just implement in a test. And only at the very end, double-check manually.

- blauditore 8y agoSimilar to it, but not as strict. TDD implies that you write tests first, which also leads the designing of your application code. What I'm describing is more general, where testing happens alternatingly with writing domain code, "roughly" at the same time.
