Write Loud Tests that Fail on Broken Code

Tests don't slow down development. Poor tests do. A test that passes when the thing it's testing is broken isn't a test. It's false documentation. It tells future developers "this works" when it doesn't. That's worse than having no test, because no test at least makes you uncertain. Write tests that fail loudly when the contract is violated. That's the only kind that earns their maintenance cost. #SoftwareEngineering #developer #coding #Python

Aayush saini Well said 👏 Tests should build confidence, not a false sense of security. Poorly written tests can be more harmful than no tests at all. Clear assertions and meaningful validation are what make tests truly valuable.
