I'd love a video where you take a small, finished app, and go over writing a few test cases for it. For newer developers, it's difficult to know what's worth testing, even if we know in a blanket way that testing is good and we should do it!

Cause we love progression..the most exciting part in coding that you can turn your idea into an app so all the focus will be on achieving that goal even if the logic in that app has defects and bugs but the major and exciting part are achieved instead of falling into testing and fixing spiral

omg i just fell into the " so many people are doing sometihng WRONG " algorithm u got me this time lackner we shall see who wins the next battle

You are doing really great, Thanks for your outstanding efforts. It will be appropriated If you make a tutorial on the TDD approach by implementing the full test life cycle industry practice. 📌

I appreciate subscribing to you

First you are an eye opener.
Second you motivate me to be a great android developer

most devs would understand why it's worthy to write tests by some real examples

My workplace doesn't do testing 😕 also don't use CI/CD and to make things worse, their version control consists of zipping up files and sending them via email/drive. No Git

the rore reason imho is that people aren't taught how to write tests properly

so they chase some arbitrary coverage threshold, computed by some dumb bot... or they test stuff like simple, unconditional property delegation... or they think that it's fine for test code to be repetitive and messy, which makes their test suites unreadable and unmaintainable in the long run...

writing good tests is not exactly the same skill as writing good production code. it's a separate skill, to some extent. not understanding this is a self-fullfilling prophecy of sorts, because poorly written tests DO become a waste of time, once the effort exceeds the benefits. don't blame the idea of testing though - blame poor execution of this idea.

A god point World be to know when write tests

Bc none of YOUR RXAMPLE tutorials ever have any tests written lol

also the name Tara’s is a big misnomer

I prefer the term “trial” or “executable documentation”

cannot we find bugs by testing the app on various smartphone. Instead of writing test. Please share your opinion.

Nothing beats a human mind. A dev can easily test an app than having to waste time on test unit. Most of the time android apps are not that big to need a test unit
