Interesting, I just now know about selective testing after reading this post. But, now I wonder when do you do selective testing and when do you just break up the codebase?
- lihaoyi 2y agoEven if you break up a codebase, you need selective testing. Let's say you have 100 small repos, and make a change to one. How confident are you in the changed repo's test suite that you can guarantee there are no bugs that will affect other related repos? If not, which other repos do you test with your change to get that confidence?
- menaerus 2y agoSplitting the code into 10s or 100s repositories is a cancer. It's almost as if you're intentionally trying to make your dev life miserable by pretending that you speeded up the dev turnaround times by not running the full test circle.
- atmosx 2y agoYou break up the codebase when the communication patterns in the org calls for it e.g. engineers complain about it. It’s not a purely technical problem.
