The only testing that was done was stochastic testing at the functional level
-
In TDD, we write the test first and the test is, essentially, a specification of the behavior of the code we are about to write
-
That’s the magic, and it’s why unit testing works also. When you write unit tests, TDD-style or after your development, you scrutinize, you think, and often you prevent problems without even encountering a test failure.
-
We need practices which help us achieve continuous discipline and a continuous state of reflection
-
using TDD give us additional leverage: they make it easier to change our code and know that it is still working without having to re-reason through the entirety of the code base
-
we can't look at testing mechanistically
-
Quality is a function of thought and reflection - precise thought and reflection. That’s the magic. Techniques which reinforce that discipline invariably increase quality
-
"The job of tests, and the people that develop and run tests, is to prevent defects, not to find them"

My point is that we can't look at testing mechanistically. Unit testing does not improve quality just by catching errors at the unit level. And, integration testing does not improve quality just by catching errors at the integration level. The truth is more subtle than that. Quality is a function of thought and reflection - precise thought and reflection. That’s the magic. Techniques which reinforce that discipline invariably increase quality.
