Have you ever been told by an executive that test coverage past 80% produces diminishing returns?
Have you asked them which 20% you should not test?
Have they ever given you an answer?
zenspider@alan I feel you and yet they’re not wrong. Coverage % is an absolutely bullshit metric. You should be talking about that, not about what not to test
@zenspider Hey, Ryan!
I use coverage (line+branch) to tell how safe it is to refactor, not how safe I am from bugs. I use flog to tell how bad I need to refactor. I use churn to tell whether or not a class is open/closed.
Try being that nuanced with an exec who only cares about Sev1 reduction. You’ll see why I answer that way.
