Yes, but in a different way. I work in Quality Engineering, and the scope of maturity in testing distributed systems has been exhausting.
Reading other comments from the thread, I see similar frustrations from teams I partner with. How to employ patterns like contact, hypothesis, doubles, or shape/data systems (etc.) typically gets conflated with System testing. Teams often disagree on the boundaries of the system start leaning towards System Testing, and end up adding additional complexity in tests that could be avoided.
My thought is that I see the desire to control more scope presenting itself in test. I typically find myself doing some bounded context exercises to try to hone in on scope early.
- yodon 5y agoI so wish there were in-person meetups and conferences going on so I might have been nearby and overheard you saying that so I could try to join in the conversation. Sounds fascinating and just the sort of insight that doesn't come up in the entirely planned and scheduled zooms I'm usually in (and HN, for all its virtues, isn't really a substitute for a great conversation).
