How to make testing more useful and fun

from Curious Coders Chronicles Hosted by Curious Coder

In this episode, Bouwe and Rich discuss and give some guidelines on how to make testing more useful and (who knows!) more fun. As a developer, writing tests is a necessity. It automates the confidence that our code (or our app) works now, and will keep on working. And if you use TDD, it can even guide you in structuring code well. However, despite these benefits, many developers consider testing to be a necessary evil, sometimes not even useful, and definitely not fun. So let's talk about how we can make testing more useful and even perhaps fun, by deciding WHAT and HOW to test. Recources: - Book: Kent Beck - TDD by Example - Kent C.
