Is developer testing highway robbery?
There is a totally disco post over on the “Improve Your Java Code Quality” forum hosted by IBM developerWorks, which essentially asks: is the price of writing tests worth it? The poster writes
“I am frustrated very much, because I spent much more time on writing unit test code than on writing the business method implementation.”
Interestingly enough, his feelings are by no means unique– quality isn’t free, man. Testing isn’t easy, but I’m convinced it’s worth the pain for a number of reasons. What do you think?
