Even I am, really. There's stuff I wrote from scratch so long ago, I don't quite remember how it works either. It's worse though when it's something I neither wrote nor ever really used, and can't even understand exactly what it was for in the first place. > Well, as you know, the difficulty with automated unit testing is the > sheer effort involved in writing tests (after the fact) that cover > more than a tiny percentage of possible cases. I think even worse than that is keeping the tests working over time. We had some tests, but they didn't survive the port. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? I think that's Latin for "who will test the unit tests?" -- D.
