Testivus - Testing for the rest of us.

I am a believer in Testivus.

Developers need to take more responsibility for testing their code. But the majority of developers are not willing, nor ready, nor able to jump on the bandwagon of the more extreme and demanding developer testing movements such as Test Driven Development. Testivus is a proposed developer testing movement “for the rest of us”.

Developer Testing - Testing for the rest of us.

Below is the first draft of the Testivus Manifestivus.

The Testivus Manifestivus (First Draft)

-Less testing dogma, more testing karma

-Any tests are better than no tests

-Testing beats debugging

-Test first, during, or after – whatever works best for you

-If a method, technique, or tool, gives you more or better tests use it
