Find someone to try it with, find out how well it works, then build on that success to
establish the other practices. Then tell your boss you're doing it.
Sorry, I shouldn't be flippant. I have an asymmetric relationship to the other people
on the site (I'm the short-term Oracle guy, they're long-timers), so I need to pair to
1, show them what I have in mind, 2, find out what they've already done, 3, find out
whether it works, 4, respectfully suggest that we retrofit tests to protect ourselves
against breakages, 5, write better SQL, since they understand the database (and the
domain) better than I...if I suggest these things in the context of bulding
relationships, they seem acceptable, and they've worked. Guys have chipped in to write
regression tests they didn't have before...that's a nice degree of "test infection."
Most bosses would be please if developers accepted this degree of accountability--if
they actually imposed it on themselves!
