| May 20 at 19:19 | comment | added | Rockstar5645 | @ThorbjørnRavnAndersen why would the bug "come back later"? Isn't the whole point of a unit test, to just test the unit, isolated from ANY external dependencies. If you don't touch the unit, why would the bug come back, aren't computers deterministic? Is it to assert that you didn't change the initial behavior of the function for any future developers (including yourself)? These may be silly questions, but honestly if someone asked me I wouldn't be able to answer them! | |
