My favorite quote:
"The amount of support caused by failing pieces of code far exceeded the time it would have taken to test the code properly, period. The agility we gained from our test coverage really helped us refactor big chunks of code quickly."
People ask whether it makes sense to spend time on TDD or automated tests in a startup situation. This right here is why.
- callmeed 13y agoI don't agree and I don't understand their dichotomy. That whole paragraph is very confusing and lacks context. Did they have good test coverage from the get go or not? If they did, why was so much support caused by failing code? If not, it's easy in hindsight to say this but there's no guarantee your tests would have caught all such support issues.
