There's a great set of recorded hangouts between Kent Beck, Martin Fowler, and DHH titled "Is TDD dead?": http://martinfowler.com/articles/is-tdd-dead/As with that talk, I'd highly encourage you to take the time to watch them.–SamOn Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 6:07 PM, Corey Floyd <cfloyd@wikimedia.org> wrote:_______________________________________________This is from a while back, but I finally got around to watching it. I think it is a really good questioning of our assumptions around testing (and of course it is a controversial talk - it is DHH)To me, the TL;DR was:- The main goal of writing code should be creating maintainable code with clear intent.- While unit testing is good, it is not a panacea for planning good architecture or system testing.- Good unit testing coverage will not spontaneously birth good architecture and at times it can even work against code clarity.- System testing is a better representation of how our code works- Unit testing should support our goals, and not become a goal in and of it self.I highly encourage everyone to carve out some time to watch.--Corey FloydSoftware EngineerMobile Apps / iOSWikimedia Foundation
