No boss... For the fucking millionth time: unit tests are not a waste of time.

You keep testing everything manually and hoping that you tested everything every time and praying that there are no bugs IS THE FUCKING TIME WASTE

My boss just can't fucking wrap his head around automated tests... I'm trying hard... Gonna try harder...

    Thank you!!!

    Mine trashed all the unit tests we added because they were "pissing [him] off" since they kept failing with the feature he added.

    That sucks man, I love when my tests fail because it is saying that they are serving their purpose, hope you can manage to enlighten your boss

    @azous Right? They're there to make sure you're not implementing shitty bugs and trash into your code that fuck up deployments and everyone else's working copies. But apparently it's all about him and it being convenient for him.

    I'm sure the client sees it that way when they get broken deployments.

    Want an advice? Take two comparable tasks, make one with unit tests and one without and show to your boss time difference. Try to be in your boss dimension, cause he obviously not too technical

    I am kind of late, but could you please suggest any tutorials on testing and automated testing? Thanks!
