As a software engineer, one the reasons I like to write tests is because it forces me to think about everything that could go wrong.
Once I write tests for all the things that could go wrong and verify the correct behavior, I feel a lot better than if I only test the happy path (when everything goes right).
I wish software developers would take more time to think about how things could go wrong.

- ZaoLahma 5y agoI wish customers would pay for the developer hours needed to be spent on it.
- shawabawa3 5y agoPMs shouldn't have any input in how development is run (that's an EMs role). Dev time should be quoted to them including the time to test otherwise you're implying testing is optional and can be skipped
- nerdponx 5y agoFair and good point, but this depends a lot on the structure and health of the organization.
