Why do software professionals always assume that there will be debugging? Most of the time, if teams switch to doing TDD, they leave debugging behind them.

Life before TDD

🚨BREAKING: #Ravens QB Lamar Jackson says Isaiah Likely’s catch was a TOUCHDOWN and Baltimore should’ve really won the game. “I thought it was a touchdown. I still think it was a touchdown…” (🎥@arimierov)

Main difference: Chance that it’s covered with tests. Test for null 🟢 Test for null and empty 🌕 Test for null and empty and 1 white space 🔴 If you play that game where you see if you can break production code with tests still passing, start with these methods.

Haha!

If your tests seem outdated, I recommend running them.

Your last act on Friday… write the next failing test. It’s like a rocket on Monday.

It’s really frustrating to read some criticisms of Civet. It’s not just saving a few characters - it’s a different perspective that would benefit any dev gives it a try. civet.dev

I always loved going up to IowaCodeCamp, it was a great dev vibe. I only stopped going when I started having a billion kids.

It’s the first thing I do to every new computer.

Please seriously consider learning how to practice TDD properly. That way, if anything doesn't work as intended, the failed tests will tell you exactly what went wrong. Tests are our best debugging buddy.

If your team is doing TDD and yet when something does not work as intended you see your colleagues (and yourself) being forced to use a debugger, that is a surefire sign that you are doing TDD incorrectly.👇

I’m sorry but I can’t help the reposts, this is 💯. I’ve been TDD’ing for over a decade, I saw someone use a debugger recently and I was gobsmacked. I can’t believe people live like that. Pawing at their own code…

Manual testing, as it is practiced in all companies I worked at, is done as an attempt to inspect quality into a product. The harsh truth is that it is not possible to inspect quality into a product.👇

Blame it on the tests 😉

The competence always boils down to the quality of tests. If tests are weak, shoddy, limp, unfocused, the system will sooner or later begin to deteriorate.👇

I can't believe this just happened. I wrote a test and it found a bug.

"This problem is irreducible; it cannot be done in phases, small steps, or increments. It can only be done all at once." I have bad news for you -- in order to write the code you have to enter one line at a time, one tiny bit at once.
