- Basically what I'm trying to enforce is TDD. That's really impossible without pair programming or other full-time peer supervision, and there are other obstacles to making that happen in our team room. The next best thing is ensuring the code being written has meaningful tests that exercise its functionality. I do understand the need from time to time to exclude pieces of the codebase for which unit tests are more trouble than they're worth, and that can be done and often is. But, in the pieces that should be tested, I want them tested.KeithS– KeithS2013-07-10 18:06:20 +00:00Commented Jul 10, 2013 at 18:06
- 2Pair programming in this situation would either amount to one of the pair being a test writer or a bunch of infighting. You need to examine the root issue unless you just want to pair each dev with a jr dev minion that only writes tests.Bill– Bill2013-07-10 19:55:32 +00:00Commented Jul 10, 2013 at 19:55
- 2Agreed, if you are unwilling to invest in synchronous pair programming, you are looking at an asynchronous version like a code review to ensure adequate unit testing.neontapir– neontapir2013-07-10 22:01:35 +00:00Commented Jul 10, 2013 at 22:01

How to Edit

- Add related resources or links
- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
