Damn it feels good to be a tester

13May06

I’ve been pestering my brother Alex lately about how to integrate agile software development methodologies into my BusyBodies development strategy. I finally broke down and installed NUnit today and started writing tests for the bugs I am currently trying to fix.

Holy crap, I forgot how much fun testing is. There is nothing more pleasant than these little green circles. It is like crack for the developer’s brain:

ahhh… greeen….

Other noteworthy discoveries:

  • Installing NUnit and starting to write tests took minutes.
  • I discovered a bug with my very first test, which I thought was utterly trivial. Lesson learned: no test is too trivial.

New life slogan: Test driven development: it’s OK!
