Unit Testing Considered Harmful

An airhacks.fm conversation with Alexey Golub (@Tyrrrz) about: playing doom on the 200 mHz Pentium 2 PC, watching the "Social Network" movie with 16 years, learning with 10 years QBasic, Pascal and Delphi at school, starting with C# and the free Visual Studio Express, starting to learn C# with Jetbrains Rider and .net core, .net core is the lightweight, cross platform alternative, .net core replaced .net, rebranding .net core back to .net in 2020, Java from Oracle vs. openJDK, commercially supported openJDK, programming a chat bot in C# and MS Access, .net core ships with Entity Framework core, MS SQL server runs on Linux, NHibernate and Dapper ORM, java.net was before dot.net, starting with .net dot.net, using Visual Studio Code for C# development, Resharper is an extension to Visual Studio, Rider is going to replace Visual Studio with Resharper, building applications as freelancer for social networks, building an enterprise-oriented monzo, learning Java after C#, strange C# coding and naming conventions, react over angular, .net vs. Java popularity, .net is getting more popularity, ASP.net core is one of the most popular frameworks, ASP.net is a consolidated project, razor comes with a templating engine, blazor is based on WebAssembly, the 80 percent coverage rule, pointless unit tests for accessors, enums and constructors, high coupling with JAX-RS tests, test pyramid is problematic for the majority of backend projects, free code coverage for unit tests, integration- and system- tests ship ofter without code coverage, mutation testing and pitest, mutation testing uncovers pointless asserts, definition of unit testing, integration testing, system testing, test coverage with sonar, the most useful tests are blackbox tests, identifying forgotten code with test coverage, codecov.io visualizes code coverage results, coverlet is a library - a "private" .net library, jacoco agent in Java, writing stress tests for robustness, identifying memory leaks with stress tests, "Unit Testing is Overrated" article, Alexey Golub's website: https://tyrrrz.me, Alexey on twitter: @Tyrrrz
