Pat - are you going solo too?
Nope, I'm trying to teach RSpec/BDD to an organization that currently
doesn't use it and has 0% test coverage. It's interesting, to say the
least. They're good devs, but even so, the effects of not writing
tests
first (or even at all) are painfully evident when trying to get the
codebase under test, and especially to change stuff. Really puts your
"working effectively with legacy code" chops to work :)
:D
This reminds me of an argument I was going to make for consistently
writing specs as you go, even for apparently very simple controllers.
As the controller gets more and more complex, it's hard to know when
you've crossed the line into something that needs specs, and when you
realise it, it's usually too late.
That's why I'm happy in the TDD habit.
