But here s the catch-22: going back to add tests to existing code feels like an overwhelming Continue reading Using Kiro Subagents to…
This post explores the compatibility of Test-Driven Development (TDD) with AI coding assistants, specifically using Kiro, an AI-powered IDE. The author conducts an experiment involving the Number Parser Kata to demonstrate how Kiro effectively follows TDD principles, emphasizing that TDD remains essential for ensuring that AI-generated code solves the intended problems accurately.

This time it s unit testing Continue reading New Pluralsight course Unit Testing C Code in CLion
The builder pattern is one of the more useful patterns out there when creation unit tests. Instead of having a huge initialization such as: You can instead create a simple user builder object for your tests that would initialize all of the object s properties with default values (not empty) since you do not really Continue reading Easily create builders for your tests using Intellij IDEA
Writing unit tests can be challenging, but there is one thing that can get you on the right track the test name. If you manage to give your test a good name you will write a good test. Unfortunately in some (read: many) unit testing frameworks the test name must be a valid Continue reading Better tests names using JUnit s display names generators
