Hardware changes slower than software. Some very influential software companies (e.g. Microsoft, Adobe) switched to a subscription model some time ago. From a marketing perspective it seems to make sense. If your customers pay a lot of mone

Mocking is useless when the team that writes the mocks is the same team that wrote the tests and the code that is tested. When the team makes a wrong assumption it will be present in both code and tests. Useful tests use the real code of th
