If you need to provide estimates for your tasks and intend to write tests, include the time for the tests within the estimate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't provide different estimates for testing and the implementation, or with tests and without tests - give one estimate that includes both.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing tests and testable code will take longer to begin with, but practice makes perfect and will save time in the long run.
