>Sometimes, I just CBF. I spent months (part time, of course) building out an end-to-end test system for my open source project Lazygit, and every day I think of all the regressions that system has prevented and how much harder it would be to add that system now given how many tests have been written since. I know for a fact it was worth the effort. So why haven’t I added end-to-end tests to my other project, Lazydocker? Because I CBF.
Building end to end tests is hellishly annoying and a huge amount of work if the tooling to do it just isn't there. There needs to be better drop in default frameworks for building them.
- pradn 3y agoYou basically need to allocate a whole developer’s worth of time to maintain end to end tests. If you’re lucky, they will also have time for your integration tests.
