<p>I've recently been going through my YouTube "Watch Later" list and watching (or rewatching) videos of conference and meetup talks that I saved to watch later.</p>
<p>Today's talk was by Matt Stauffer at one of the previous Laracon conferences.</p>
<p>I've quoted Matt previously when explaining what to test on applications. The answer: "The thing you'd lose your job for if it broke".</p>
<p>In this talk, Matt has a slide that goes further into this, titled "Test to save your job".</p>
<h2 id="what-matt-said">What Matt said</h2>
<p>The best place to start your tests is by asking yourself: "What part of this app, if broken, would make me worried for my job?"</p>
<ul>
<li>What's most likely to break?</li>
<li>What do I have the least control over?</li>
<li>What are we about to refactor?</li>
<li>What would make my clients stress out?</li>
<li>What would make me stressed out?</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="what-about-you%3F">What about you?</h2>
<p>Do you have any other ways to decide what code to test? Reply and let me know, as I'd love to know.</p>
