Sometimes it's very difficult to wrap a test around some nasty legacy code when you're fixing a bug.

My rule of thumb for whether my nasty test is "good enough" is:

Without the bug-fix, the test fails WITH A USEFUL FAILURE MESSAGE, and with the fix it passes.

Hey Mastodon, question for my #sysadmin and #DevOps types. Has anyone used #Pester and #PSScriptAnalyzer to set up unit testing for test driven development, particularly on (relatively) simple #PowerShell scripts like you might use for application detection, installation, and uninstallation from a system like #SCCM #Intune or #ManageEngine ?

Apologies for the buzzword bingo, but I’m trying to reach folks who may be following the hashtags, but not necessarily have a connection otherwise.

It seems like unit testing in Rust is difficult. I am looking into mockall and other mocking libraries, and I'm kind of turned off by all the macros I have to add to my code (and sometimes it even impacts the production code!) instead of being able to keep all test-related stuff in test modules. Also I don't want to use traits for everything—I'd rather not `dyn Trait` everywhere if I don't have to.

How do you effectively unit test in Rust when you have object dependencies?

BLOGPOST: A pleasant diversion with #TDD

I was recently nerd-sniped (in a good way) by a blogpost from @RonJeffries so I tried my hand at the problem myself and wrote up as I went.

As a bonus, almost all of the blogpost (minus some minor typo corrections and code samples) is generated directly from the commit history!

This is brilliant advice. In times of "vibe coding" just… turn off AI agents for a bit and slowly, meticulously practice your chops with Katas: Take small, deliberate steps and great things will happen when you re-enable your AI assistant.

P.S. I do use AI tools (a lot!). But I don’t "vibe code," just like I never blindly copied and pasted code from Stack Overflow without understanding it.
