> How can I write good unit tests?

Good unit tests are a lie! :o

@Morwenn you seem to have strong feelings on Unit Tests

Morwenn

@Quill Now really, I just don't like writing them as anybody.

Regression tests are good. Having errors in code is ok, reintroducing errors that were already fixed is not.

Phrancis

@Malachi Done

Quill

@rolfl Don't forget to add starring to that list

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's about code-review (try codereview.stackexchange.com). — Oliver Charlesworth 26 secs ago

@Morwenn I do

call me loco

Morwenn

@JeroenVannevel Ew, let me leave this room at once.

@OliverCharlesworth - More than code review I am looking for validation of part of logic which provides much simpler alternative than the complex method associated. If people dont agree here I dont mind posting it on code review .. — oneday 26 secs ago

@Phrancis thank you

I was taking that survey

Quill

This may be a good question for Code Review, so long as: (A) the code works, and (B) it's not hypothetical or incomplete in any way. Please read the on-topic guide before posting, if you choose to go to Code Review. If you have any questions or concerns, join us at our CR Help Desk. — Quill 1 min ago

You are asking for a code review (from a performance perspective) rather than asking a specific question. There is a separate StackExchange site for code reviews. — Terry Jan Reedy 1 min ago

I need to write a 1-2 page paper on the differences between LANs and WANs, along with describing Physical and Logical topologies. BORING! that's why I am not in Networking! lol

Quill

that is the third time that posted.... did you edit it @Quill ?

Quill

Completely separate questions...

Malachi

Quill

Malachi

that's good

gotta go warm my feet and post on Craigslist that I am looking for fire wood!

Quill

I thought that was going somewhere else....

Code Review's referencing on Google is overwhelming when you look for a specific implementation of an algorithm or data structue.

monking!

holroy

HeHe... You're picking up on the traditions around here, @TanMath...

TanMath

^ now why didn't that not ping me?

Quill

probably assumed ... was part of your name

holroy

@TanMath, is that better?

TanMath

each community has its own traditions... At least the fun communities! ;)

@holroy yeah, that pings...

what is unit testing guys?

Quill

11:56 PM

> Unit testing is a software development process in which the smallest testable parts of an application, called units, are individually and independently scrutinized for proper operation

You may find this to be relevant reading

It's an important and useful practice for Developers to get into

Morwenn

Why unit test when you can sell maintainance and bugfixes for years?
