Effective Snapshot Testing

Read Original

This article analyzes a critique of snapshot testing from developer Justin Searls. It details how snapshot tests are often poorly understood, fail to encode developer intent, and lead to high false negatives. The author agrees that these factors cause teams to lose trust in such tests, making them a chore rather than a reliable tool for ensuring code quality.
