Coding without Unit Tests is like using a Credit Card

Occasionally I find myself a few days (or sometimes weeks) into some piece of code that I’ve been working on without good test coverage. I just realized that it’s the same feeling I get when I use a credit card. I know I’ll be in trouble if I don’t take care of it ASAP.

   i must say that you are really obsessed with coding i must agree with you that in the world of codes you first need to test everything, you need to give it a priority or else you’ll suffer from your carelessness.

   I think your credit card analogy is spot on. Look at this analogy in a different way: Your unrecorded credit card accounts and your untested code are uncertain and possibly dangerous.

   You have to test your code ASAP! Don’t you feel restless when you still have not uncovered bugs that you could have worked on yesterday or even today? What’s with the procrastinating?

   Credit cards and untested codes: Wow those are my current problems as well. I guess I am not alone in this world. Now, I think we both have to do something about these problems.

    Don’t use a credit card. Use debit card instead, there you will be able to save a lot of money
