One Team, One Unit
Learn how to be on the same page within a team in testing a project.
Developers can approach unit testing vary differently:
- Some developers might insist on TDD.
- Some developers might resist unit testing at all costs, producing only the tests that they feel forced to write.
- Some developers might prefer lumping multiple cases into a single test method.
- Some might favor slower integration tests.
It’s important that your team get on the same page. Long debates or continual back-and-forth without resolution are rarely good uses of anyone’s time. Although a team will never agree on everything, you can at least find out what you do agree on and start moving in the direction of increased consensus.
Establishing unit-testing standards
It’s helpful to derive some standards around unit testing. Start small and seek to answer two questions:
- What things do developers feel are wasting the most time of everyone?
- What are simple standards that everyone can quickly agree on?
