<p>You know that "Play" with a little something on your IDE that runs only the |
|
tests? Do you know what it does?</p> |
|
<span id="continue-reading"></span> |
|
<p>A long time ago I read the story about a professor that taught his students to |
|
code. He preferred to teach using an IDE, 'cause then "students have to just |
|
press a button to run the tests".</p> |
|
<p>I get the idea, but I hate the execution.</p> |
|
<p>When we get into professional field, we start using things like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration">continuous |
|
integration</a> which, |
|
basically, is "run tests every time something changes" (it's a bit more than |
|
that, but that's the basic idea).</p> |
|
<p>Now, let me ask you this: Do you think the students of the professor above |
|
would know how to add the command to run the tests in a continuous |
|
integration system?</p> |
|
<p>I know I'm being too picky (one could even call me "pricky" about this) but |
|
the fact is that whatever we do today, at some point can be automated: our |
|
tests can be run in an automated form, our deployment can be run in an |
|
automated form, our validation can be run in an automated form and so on. If |
|
you have no idea how those things "happen", you'll need the help of someone |
|
else to actually build this kind of stuff, instead of having the knowledge |
|
(well, half knowledge, the other half is the CI tool) with you all the time.</p> |
