It was originally supposed to be their dloud editor, but few people used it that way. So, they shoved it into Electron and shipped it for the desktop.

The desire to write unit tests lasts about as long as the team’s willpower to deal with the onslaught of issues they come across, but generally not longer than that. Write them for your sake?

Quote: Integration tests, for all their problems, at least can say with certainty that the problem you set out to solve was solved, whereas unit tests carry no such guarantee; yet with many of the same costs of an integration test.
We should push back harder against the idea of unit tests. It forces tests to follow code; and given production code that obstensibly works, no one is going to invest the time to change it to make it easier to test after the fact.
Darn tootin' right! With rare exception, I find integration tests to be much much more useful and, especially when testing endpoints, nicely decoupled from the implementation, so I don't have to fix integration test if the endpoint implementation changes (assuming inputs and outputs stay the same.)
[And how unusual. A post that I actually agree with and don't make some sarcastic comment about!]

To my mind, most of the issue comes from people confusing units with classes.
Unit tests should work at the level of a public interface of a module, and ensure that the expected behaviour occurs given given inputs. They should be (very) cheap to run, and fake the dependencies of the module.
Integration tests are still incredibly important, but are run less often, as they take longer - for example having to actually talk to a DB rather than fake it in some way.
Testing at too fine a grain results in horribly fragile test suites. Test behaviour, not how the behaviour is implemented. TDD is particularly effective when approached in this manor.
Of course, all this is just based on my personal experience, on the types of projects I've worked on. Your mileage may vary.

There already is a standard. Not a pretty one, but it works. Even in the Lynx browser (and CP does too!).

I am often asked what I mean when I say that developers spend most of their time figuring the system out. Let’s unpack the statement. Figuring it out? That's wishful thinking.

And the rest of the time we are trying to figure out what the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) do the test specs or the requirements list mean or want to say.

Windows Package Manager already lets you install apps, now it's about to let you remove them as well. Can you use it to uninstall Windows?

It would already be enough if you could uninstall the telemetry and the updater.

AppSheet is Google Cloud’s no-code application development platform, and even if you don’t know HTML from Python, you can use it to create powerful applications without writing a single line of code. For the software non-developers in the crowd
