- celeritascelery 6y agoThat depends on if you are shipping tests to customers. Most companies are shipping code, not tests, so time spent on test is time not spent on code. You only want tests that make code easier to write.
- exdsq 6y agoYou’re not just shipping code, you’re aiming to ship a correct program right? And tests are a part of that and will be on the list of risks the customer may be concerned about. It’s not just about making code easier, it’s about showing the code works as expected.
