Cowboys and Consultants Don't Need Unit Tests
As a developer, my understanding and respect for software testing has been slow coming because in my previous work I have been an engineer and a consultant, and in these roles it wasn't yet obvious how important testing really is. But over the past year I have finally gained an appropriate respect and appreciation for testing; and it's even improving the way I write code. In this post I will explain where I've come from and how far I've traveled in my testing practices. I'll then list out some of the more important principles I've picked up along the way.
