dboehmer,

Test Driven Development sometimes is a huge disappointment to me:

I was writing the test first, and then got really surprised that the new method can’t be called because it’s kinda not implemented. How can that be?! 😠

Oh, I see … 🤡

@dboehmer @Perl It’s right there in the name. The tests drive the development of the application code.

dboehmer,

@mjgardner @Perl Did you miss the joke? Of course I know that. I actually find that very helpful for development productivity. It's just that I am still sometimes surprised that some beautifully crafted test statement can't possibility work until I do the implementation part.

@dboehmer @Perl Sorry, I think I did miss the joke.

It’s not a great idea to polish the initial tests to gleaming perfection before starting on the code they exercise. That’s just test-driven waterfall.
