| Jun 15, 2023 at 12:48 | comment | added | J. Mini | The points about tests being runnable documentation and enabling refactoring are key. I work on legacy products, but the devs who came before me sucked. If the code had good unit test coverage, I'd be able to refactor it without fear. Because it doesn't, nobody knows what the code is supposed to do or what it actually does. Simple changes take hours if not days. | |
