We asked the community for questions about TDD, and this is the first one from @jofla:
“Do we really need to test everything? Opinions on stubs/mocks?”
The answer is surprisingly layered and complex. Here are some things we detail in this video:
- Benefits of automated testing vs. Downsides of users finding bugs
- Cost of bugs: reputation, fix work, motivation, and opportunity
- Cost of testing vs. Cost of not testing
- Risk based testing vs. high coverage
- What tests to avoid
- Focus your tests on behaviors to decouple them from implementation
- Different flavours of TDD
- The best uses for stubs and mocks – and there are many more test doubles.
