Ahhh my favorite way to fix a broken test: just remove it!

PoolloverNathan ,

Mark it as intended-to-fail, that way if someone fixes your bug it’s their test failure.

kambusha , in After 6 hours

Working at a company with no automated tests. There’s not even a collection of regression tests or anything to follow. I was wondering if anyone could share or point me towards a good template to start building out test cases as a first step?

big_slap ,

I think this is something you’re gonna have to just jump into and start since you don’t have anything to work off of. it’s going to take a lot of work, but at least you’ll be able to work off your own ATFs once you finish. good luck…

Rentlar ,

I mean, start with trivial cases of the core functionality of what your system does. Then build upon it based on your own findings and what your clients report.

E.g. if your system loads images then put in a tiny 5x5px solid square or checkerboard pattern and see if it loads. Then try putting multiple images, different formats (webp, gif, png, tga) etc. see if that breaks anything, keep building out.

It probably really depends on the project, though I’d probably try and start with the tests that are easiest/nicest to write and those which will be most useful. Look for complex logic that is also quite self-contained.

That will probably help to convince others of the value of tests if they aren’t onboard already.

occams_chainsaw ,

if there are zero automated tests, things probably weren’t written with (automated) testing in mind, so there may be a lot of coupling… starting off with integration tests just to validate existing behavior is a good start. hopefully the existing applications aren’t also inextricably bound to environments that are run on pet servers and managed by other teams…

kambusha ,

Thankfully, the team has full control without external team dependencies

People kept arguing with me that not using is a choice and wonder why it is not freedom of choice.

    glad_cat , in I finally created the perfect JavaScript runtime: No-JS

    But you can’t compress or obfuscate it, that’s a downside.

    aksdb OP ,

    The runtime doesn’t need to be obfuscated. Only the code you run with it. You can still compress and obfuscate that and it will run just as well as it did before. Actually you can completely scramble your code and it would still run exactly the same.

    jadero ,

    Sweet! That means I can encrypt my code to keep prying eyes away.

    Missed an exclamation mark (as in negation) would be better and happens to anyone.

    hstde ,

    Or using < instead of <= or >

    LetterboxPancake ,

    Something is either true or false, I would expect to have at least 50% of a chance to get it right on the first try. Nah, I fail to implement it three times because my brain went on vacation without telling me.

    I love interns.

    I use this to make MACs for my VMs and virtual NICs. The 00:16:3E prefix means it’s Xen virtualization, so change this part as needed.

    
<span style="color:#323232;">#!/usr/bin/python
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># macgen.py script to generate a MAC address for guests on Xen
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">import random
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">def randomMAC():
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	mac = [ 0x00, 0x16, 0x3e,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">		random.randint(0x00, 0x7f),
</span><span style="color:#323232;">		random.randint(0x00, 0xff),
</span><span style="color:#323232;">		random.randint(0x00, 0xff) ]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	return ':'.join(map(lambda x: "%02x" % x, mac))
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">print (randomMAC())

    Use
