*Le Me writing some functional test*

Friends : How do you test your test ?

💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣

Well, he has a point

But how do you test the test for your test?

thats why testing is a waste of time. read the code and do step debugging

Testing frameworks are tested. That's good enough for me.

@nicholai how did they test the test for the testing framworks? ;)

@ScribeOfGoD ^^ this exactly

@stimulate surely you work for a large corporation 😉

@Krokoklemme

1. You run test locally. (test)
2. You run test locally with rest of test-suite. (test of test)
3. You run entire test-suite in a CI environment. (test of test of test)
4. You deploy entire app to a staging environment where Q.A. can do some more testing. (test of test of test of test)

If all is good then let hell loose, deploy, and sleep peacefully.

You need mutation testing. PiTest is a java implementation of such a thing! http://pitest.org

(it's not mine, I might add)

@stimulate have you ever worked on a large team or come in to work on a legacy project? Have fun regression testing without existing tests.

@tizo no and I regret that comment.
I still won't ever do testing on my private projects

@stimulate that's fair.

You test your test with your code! :-P
