Structure-cementing tests and how to avoid them 1/3
Read OriginalThis article discusses the problem of 'structure-cementing' tests, which are overly sensitive to code structure changes and hinder refactoring. It contrasts the modes of changing behavior versus changing structure in agile development, advocating for tests that support safe refactoring. The author introduces the concept of a Test Domain-Specific Language (TestDsl) to write tests that can transition from integration to unit tests with minimal changes, thereby improving code maintainability.
