| Jan 10, 2013 at 20:08 | comment | added | svick | @BrianKnoblauch Well, according to Code Complete, reviews are actually more efficient than tests. | |
| Jan 8, 2013 at 14:05 | comment | added | Erik Reppen | This. If a tool's not working, chuck it. That said, git doesn't strike me as that hard to use. Even veterans are going to trip up on new version control if they don't spend some time learning it or at least memorize by rote the 1-3 easy things they need to be able to do with it. And with a rookie you should definitely sit down and make sure they understand what's going on. | |
| Jan 8, 2013 at 12:37 | comment | added | Brian Knoblauch | @Doc Brown - One could argue that, but you'd be just plain wrong. :-) | |
| Jan 8, 2013 at 10:09 | comment | added | Alex | @ott-- I just heard a story about a dev who left after committing a horrible mess of a fix and commenting out all the Asserts in his unit tests. Tests succeed by default so took a while to notice the issue! | |
| Jan 8, 2013 at 7:02 | comment | added | Doc Brown | @BrianKnoblauch: one could argue that the opposite is true, too. Ideally, you should have both. | |
| Jan 7, 2013 at 22:03 | comment | added | ott-- | Unit tests don't help if they're written by the same <insert your fav 4 letters here> as the unit code. | |
| Jan 7, 2013 at 21:28 | comment | added | jgauffin | yeah. That's why I mentioned the alternatives. Code reviews is better than nothing. Not being able to version the code is a pain no developer should be exposed to. | |
| Jan 7, 2013 at 21:25 | comment | added | Brian Knoblauch | This. If you're committing without unit and build tests, having a code review requirement is an imperfect bandage. | |
