Starting with unit testing

When starting to get in the habit of writing unit tests, don;t start with an expectation of 80% code coverage ..

I’ve also experienced teams where they start with 80% code coverage, it becomes so difficult to get there at the start

Teams ended up not pushing code to the master branch which caused even bigger problems

Her suggestion was to start with something like all new code should have a decent amount of code coverage, which makes more sense

Writing unit tests sometimes can be tricky, and time consuming without libraries and frameworks to support

It takes a while to get some helping libraries in place, so take it step by step.

Treat it as an evolution, not a revolution !
