> All of the rest of the talk is about the hideous tests that you're unhappy to find because you forget that somebody could just not have bothered to write any tests at all. At many times in my professional "career", I've found myself wishing that whoever wrote the test I'm staring at just hadn't bothered. "Tests that say and/or look like they test one thing, but test something entirely different." [0] and "Tests that actually test nothing at all and never fail when the code they claim to test is changed out from under them." are two of the many categories of tests I wish folks would just never have wasted their time writing. [0] To be clear, I usually find tests of this type to claim to be testing something useful, but actually be testing something that's not worth testing.
