Fortune Cookie Philosophy For Testing, Set 3

You can run a 10k to the finish line, but you can also trip over your own foot at the last second and roll down a hill.

You can carry out rigorous computation by hand across two long pages, just to finalize the accurately-derived values with "5 + 2 = 9".

Soon you will manhandle and break the code to an important project by accident, but a small fraction of your unit tests will save you at the last minute before deployment.

In a world in which a single line of code can silently break an entire feature, one must test fiercely.

The one time that you don't test thoroughly will be the one time that your project will have needed it.

One must primarily test against the human, not the machine. The latter is not as big of a problem.

Soon you will meet a great person who will write all of your tests for you with great code coverage and enthusiasm.
