If you don't have real use cases, you will write tests that don't matter, and you will fail to cover things that some real use case depends on. Often enough, those things can be really basic, and embarrass both your programmer's pride and your schedule. Both strategies, a priori (here's my API definition, make sure it works) and use-case-based (here's my use case, make sure the API can implement it) are necessary. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
