#TIL

I always struggled with #TestFirst #Programming because it requires much discipline to delay new features and concentrate on test cases first.

But while I was working on my #django app #fairdebate I tried out coding the test and then prompt #aider with

👉 "Make test_053 pass." ✨

While the solution was wrong it brought me very close and only little manual tweaking was necessary.

I seems like a promising pattern for AI-supported coding because since I would have to describe what I want anyway, why not funnel this effort in a test case instead of a sophisticated prompt?

What are Software Regressions and How do We Avoid them?

I'm back recording videos for the Testing Glossary Project.

Fentanyl is everywhere, and it's deadly. Just 2mg can be fatal making the practice of harm reduction more important than ever.

Jose faced difficulties until he realized that testing could enhance his software development, making it more efficient and stress-free.

If you're skeptical about the benefits of testing before coding, tune in to hear his and Phillipe's valuable perspectives on how prioritizing tests empowers them to produce superior software.

look at me, writing failing tests before writing the code 😆 🔴 🟢

Writing tests first doesn't have to be harder than writing them after. In fact, I'm convinced that once you get over the mental threshold of writing tests for code that doesn't exist, it's actually easier.

Less complicated setup since you get to choose the setup and not adapt it to existing code. Also looser coupling which means code that is easier to maintain.

1. write failing unit test
2. write code to make unit test green

man, I love #testFirst development

Just sayin'.
