    Github launched less than a year ago, but it's already making an impact on how open-source software is being created. Rails was there from day one, kick-starting the social software repository's traffic. It has taken off though it still doesn't compare to Sourceforge's traffic.

  • They effectively communicate in an executable format how to use the software. They also prevent tendencies to over-build the system based on speculation. When all the tests pass, you know you're done!
  • Test-driven development is a lot more fun than writing tests after the code seems to be working
  • Do I have to write a test for everything? No, just test everything that could reasonably break.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • If something is difficult to test, it's usually an opportunity for a design improvement.
  • Frequent testing gives you confidence that your changes didn't break anything and generally lowers the stress of programming in the dark.
  • Run all your unit tests as often as possible, ideally every time the code is changed
  • For larger systems, you may just run specific test suites that are relevant to the code you're working on.
  • write a failing test that exposes the defect. When the test passes, you know the defect is fixed!
  • Don't forget to use this as a learning opportunity. Perhaps the defect could have been prevented by being more aggressive about testing everything that could reasonably break.
