If you write code, write tests
So… I’m scrounging around the internet looking for some TDD-related tidbits and I came across the following at www.artima.com.
I like.
If you write code, write tests
The pupil asked the master programmer:
“When can I stop writing tests?”
The master answered:
“When you stop writing code.”
The pupil asked:
“When do I stop writing code?”
The master answered:
“When you become a manager.”
The pupil trembled and asked:
“When do I become a manager?”
The master answered:
“When you stop writing tests.”
The pupil rushed to write some tests. He left skid marks.
If the code deserves to be written, it deserves to have tests.
