With absolutely no disrespect intended, this seems low. I've read some studies about testing, and I chat to my customers a lot about it (my startup, Circle, does hosted continuous integration), and I would estimate that most projects spend over 50% of time testing.
- jonstjohn 15y agoI initially wrote 35-40% but wasn't sure if that was realistic. No disrespect taken at all - I'm pushing for a more concerted effort on better unit test coverage. We also have a very large set of Selenium tests that run in a distributed build environment.
