Pensieri di un lunatico minore

Now that’s testing

In discussing the next generation UI framework for VisualWorks, the author commented that there were “over 20,000 [unit tests] currently, and they take about 10-12 minutes to run.” That’s a lot of unit tests. That’s probably more than I’ve ever written in my life, and I’ve written a lot.

I just can’t imagine. This is a testament to the author, as well as the environment that makes it trivial to keep adding tests incrementally and keep on top of them.
