- Etheryte 3y agoI'm not sure I agree — most common regex editing tools available online include a section for adding test strings to verify what you actually wrote is correct. Clearly there is a benefit to it. In similar vein, allowing the user to test before they commit and then test actually reduces their work load, they don't have to drop and then reload the whole regex in their mind.
