Testing your code often will not shape your body.

Update: Changed spelling on topic

Ferdy Cristant quotes Steve McConnell (the Code Complete author) in a blog about test driven development… Well… Sort of…. Atleast it’s a Programming quote of the day.

Anyway, the idea is that testing often improves software quality just as using the bathroom scale often improves weight control - NADA.
I tried this sentence on some fellow workers by asking:
- Do you guys think that improved test frequency is improving code quality.

My hidden agenda was of course that they should say Yes! so I could take the analogy with the bathroom scale. Unfortunately are my collegues too bright to fall in my traps.
