Standup meeting
testing and continuous integration
Laura: I really wish we knew all this going in...before we started doing
demos with the customer.
Bob: Yeah, I could have run tests on my code, and known I’d screwed up the
other user story when I got mine to work. Anything to get us to full coverage...
Mark: Whoa, I’m not sure full coverage is reasonable. You ever heard of the
80/20 rule? Why spend all our time on a tiny bit of the code that probably
won’t ever get run?
Bob: Well, I’m going for 100%. I figure with another few days of writing
tests, I can get there.
Mark: A few days? We don’t have time for that; don’t you have a lot of
GUI code to work on?
Laura: I agree. But I’m not sure we can even get to 80% coverage: there’s a
lot of complex code buried pretty deep in the GUI, and I’m not sure how to
write tests to get to all of that stuff.
Mark: Hmmm...what about 50%? We could start there, and then add tests
for things we think are missing. The coverage report will tell us what we’re
missing, right?
Bob: Yeah, we can look at which methods we’re not calling. If we could hit
every method, and then test the edge cases on code that’s used a lot, that’s
pretty good...
Laura: Sounds like a plan...You just committed some stuff, right? I’ll check
the coverage report as soon as CruiseControl finishes its build.
