Make Your Test Fail

Read Original

This article discusses a common pitfall in software testing: writing tests that pass even when the underlying functionality is broken. Using a password validation function as an example, it demonstrates how a test suite can appear solid but fail to detect regressions, offering a false sense of security. The author emphasizes the importance of verifying that tests will fail when the specific functionality they are testing is intentionally broken.
