Can it if we stop defining "robust tests" as "a lot of test code lines" and "good documentation" as "lengthy documentation"?
- simonw 6mo agoI chose my words carefully. "Robust tests" are tests that provide high coverage and aren't flaky. "Thorough documentation" likewise is documentation that describes as much of the code as possible. I didn't use the word good.
