The Magic Tricks of Testing

Sandi Metz

• Many people say "I hate my tests"
• They kill your productivity when they're slow
• A little change can break your tests (even if they shouldn't)
• They're expensive
• They are misery incarnate
• Just delete some tests
• You may have too many tests testing the wrong tests
