Cmon guys just write some damn tests. It’s not that hard


Its very easy to force ppl to write tests.

For example Sonar QualityGate on new code added to the code base.

Its hard to make ppl write tests that make sense and are worth running.


The keyword is “some”. In web dev there are things that lend themselves to automated testing, for example domain logic. There, it is often most beneficial and most helpful during development. Start with that, it won’t save time if you don’t.

Other things, like UI, I think are best tested manually and visually. This takes a ton of time but leads to the highest quality and confidence.
