You’ve probably heard of Unit Testing, Integration Testing and maybe even Field Testing…but let me recommend Celebration Testing. 😉

I couldn’t think of a better way for me to celebrate the lovely reception to Pedometer++ v8’s launch than to head to my favorite trails in the English Lakes and put it to some good use.

Related. I was curious how much actual field testing I’ve done for Pedometer++ over the years. So I put together a little app to summarize the stats for it (and it’s related test apps).

I’ve spent 1,727hrs (72 days) walking, running or hiking with it, covering 3,221 miles. 😳

@_Davidsmith Looks like I've got some catching up to do!
@_Davidsmith This made me curious about whether this was shorter or farther than it would be to walk some long route across North America, so I picked a couple arbitrary restaurants in Maine and Washington state that seemed like they might be quite a ways apart, and as long as you have your passport…
@_Davidsmith @siracusa the stats at the bottom of the settings screen always blow my mind: more than 35 million steps and almost 24,000 km in 13 years???
@otolithe @_Davidsmith @siracusa is your date format d/m/y? I only ask because my ped++ starts on October 5th 2013
@_Davidsmith now that is some dedication, and it shows!

@_Davidsmith @siracusa Very impressive. But…perhaps doesn’t compute? Are the hours rounded up? Because that’s under 2mph.

(Absolutely no shade intended!)
