Someone with his status should set a standard for all of us to follow.Grant Rettkehttp://www.wisdomandwonder.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759480248865232582.post-9779564697188748972009-04-03T01:57:00.000+11:002009-04-03T01:57:00.000+11:00Most people don't know how to write only a "unit of code" and consequently don't know how to test it. Think about it: before you write a small unit of code you need to understand the inputs, outputs, behavior, state changes, and valid ranges of types. If you can't do any one of those things, then you are liable to say any number of insane things about testing and quality because you don't "get it".Grant Rettkehttp://www.wisdomandwonder.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759480248865232582.post-59612571662267083572009-03-10T12:34:00.000+11:002009-03-10T12:34:00.000+11:00Interestingly, the favorite 'programmer ignorance' Pet Peve as voted by StackOverFlow users recently is <BR/>"The attitude that testing is boring / unnecessary or time consuming" .<BR/><BR/>http://stackoverflow.com/questions/423823/whats-your-favorite-programmer-ignorance-pet-peeveniickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06191599493579229945noreply@blogger.com
