Tests are code too
(lemmy.world)
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
I remember being asked to make unit tests. I wasn't the programmer and for the better part of a week, they didn't even let me look at the code. Yeah, I can make some great unit tests that'll never fail without access to the stuff I'm supposed to test. /s
I guess it would make sense if you're testing a public API? To make sure the documentation is sufficient and accurate.
Yeah blackbox testing is a whole thing and it's common when you need something to follow a spec and be compatible
He specifically said "unit tests" though, which aren't black box tests by definition
It makes sense to do it like that if you are supposed to test requirements. Depending on the testing tools you have it might not be feasible unfortunately.
