Code coverage metrics HURT application quality, especially when gating deployments, because they are a misleading target, prioritizing superficial goals over meaningful use-case validation. A focus on achieving coverage percentages detracts from real quality assurance, as developers write tests that do what the targets insist that they do, satisfy coverage metrics rather than ensuring comprehensive use-case functionality.

Working on a sample project for colleagues on #marten using #SpecFlow and #Testcontainers to build fast integration tests with a real database and it's been surprisingly fast and really fun.

CC @jeremydmiller -- let me know if there's any benefit you could get out of that and I can tweak to help the project.

Spent the last few days working with #SpecFlow on a #DotNet6 API project.

Seems like a lot of work but, as with #TDD, it's well worth it for the warm fuzzy feeling you get when all the tests pass

Woo hoo! My contribution to bring #Arm64 support is merged into main for #specflow! Next release should include the #VisualStudio extension, or you can install it from their CI Build on the Github repo.

I spent the morning integrating the #mailsac API into some c# #SpecFlow tests and was very impressed at how simple and powerful it was.
Am especially loving how simple it is to set up and tear down new email accounts (as obviously I want my #tests to be autonomous and not be getting unexpected mails when other tests execute at the same time). Always like mornings spent learning (even after over 20+ years in the game)..
