Of course every time you bring this subject up, you will inevitably find someone who will say, But don’t we need comments to at least explain what the code was supposed to do?

http://blog.dmbcllc.com/changing-habits

Raquo; Changing Habits. This past week I’ve been thinking a lot about changing habits and how much of our lives habits influence. To be clear, I would define a habit as something we have learned to do as an automated response to some trigger.

How I react to particular situations. Others I’m not so willing to share publicly 🙂.

Raquo; Excuses For Not Testing. Excuses For Not Testing. To this I also answer, “How much permission do you need? Do you really need permission? Do you ask for permission to compile and link the code? Do you ask for permission to write every line of code to make the system do what it should do? Do you ask for permission to run your code periodically to make sure it does what you had in mind when you wrote the code? Admit it, I don’t think I know of any programmer who doesn’t.). It’s not your manager’s job.

Raquo; 100% Code Coverage Possible? 100% Code Coverage Possible? In response to my post Excuses For Not Testing. There is also another side of Unit Tests. And my initial reaction to this was, WOW! So much to respond to here. I think this is worth a blog post. So, first, the question of 100% coverage. Is that a realistic goal? And the answer of course is, it depends.
