Everyone's in the confessional booth here admitting dogmatic test-first-test-everything's not so hot in practice, which is nice, but how long until it becomes safe to answer with anything other than some variation of "love testing, it's always great, I love tests, more is better" when asked how you feel about testing in interviews?
- codeulike 7y agoOh of course you have to be enthusiastic about testing in interviews. Same as with agile!
- tombert 7y agoActually, for the interview for my current job (a pretty big corporation) they asked me about testing and I flatout said that I think testing has some benefit for some cases for , but I think the "100% CODE COVERAGE OMG TDD!!!" mentality is actually counter productive and makes code much harder to adapt. I think they appreciated my honesty.
- matttb 7y agoI always answer this honestly in interviews and I've always had my interviewers say they feel the same way. I think maybe it's a thing where you're not supposed to say it, but once you do, it frees the interviewer up to admit it as well and they're happy.
