“Tests are Docs” + Starting a Habit
Automated tests are documentation, and–if done well—even useful and up to date! Unrelatedly, I should probably send one of these whenever I publish something.
Hi!
You might’ve noticed I haven’t exactly been sending these out like mad. That’s because most of the time I don’t even remember that I set this up primarily for that purpose. For some random reason I remembered tonight, so here we are!
A few weeks ago I wrote about a commonly discussed notion that tests are documentation for the code they’re testing, as I’d encountered a particularly helpful example of it. If this sounds like something you might want to read about, you can find it here: Tests are Docs.
If you want to get in touch for any reason, you can just reply to this email, send me a direct one to nik@nkantar.com, or find me on Twitter.
Until next time!
