I Walk In The Shadow Of Valley Of Tests

Most if not all people in the software development world are telling you that you should write tests for your code. The amount of articles, blog posts, books, and white papers is overwhelming, you start reading them, you feel you are ready, and then you take a look at your code. Chances are you will get disheartened, by the sheer amount of it, by how it might seem hard, by terminology and approaches, by flavors of testing, by the investment of time required, by plain "OMG, I need to touch that code piece, things might break", or by tight deadlines of small projects. We will be looking at ways to start introducing the tests into your code base, to try and cross the uncanny valley of tests, which claimed lives of many code hours.

21. Mocks Vs Stubs
    Mock objects are used to define expectations
    Mocks record and verify such expectations.
    Stubs do not record or verify expectations, but rather allow us
    to “replace” the behavior, state of the “fake”object in order to
    utilize a test scenario

    Code with no tests,
    is worse than code with bad tests,
    is worse than code with some tests,
    is worse than code with all the tests

    Hunting for the 100% code coverage most of the times is
    impractical,
    but getting it to more than 0% is attainable goal.
