#goodenoughtesting — Public Fediverse posts

When working on #goodenoughtesting, I keep three LLM tabs open: Claude, Codex, and Gemini.

I test each prompt against all three to catch where instructions break down. When they disagree, that's where I focus as I want to reliable generate tests.

Adding Amp to the mix soon.

Yesterday I talked with @onurozer about the #goodenoughtesting workshop and where to take it next.

One thing became clear: I need to better communicate what problem it solves and for which teams it works best.

Not just build more content, but explain the value more clearly.

Preparing first workshop for an in-house training session for a company about Reliable Test Case Generation with AI, part of #GoodEnoughTesting

This will be about the Test Strategy, a document that will be useful for both agentic AIs and individual contributors

If you're still chasing 100% test coverage, stop.
You're wasting time and still missing the bugs that count.

Axiom 1: You can’t test everything.
Test what breaks trust.
That’s smart testing.
#goodenoughtesting

Most testing advice sounds great until you try it on a real project.

That’s why I use 4 axioms of testing that hold up in real-world codebases:

1. You can’t test everything
2. You can’t prove it’s bug-free
3. Start early
4. Bias is real

Ask this before writing a test:
**“What’s the purpose of this test in this context?”**

If it doesn’t verify, protect, or document behavior/specs why write it?

#GoodEnoughTesting means matching coverage to risk

Effective testing isn’t about writing more tests.
It’s about testing what matters and that means understanding risk.
Not all bugs are equal. Not all tests are worth it.

Over half the workshop is booked. Time to finalize details, review exercises, and trim content to allow more discussion.

#GoodEnoughTesting

There are already five participants registered for the next #GoodEnoughTesting workshop, which will take place next week.

There are 15 places in total, but I might close the registration at 10 people because this is a new version of the workshop, and I want to have time for feedback.

Just refactored the 404 and 500 pages of #GoodEnoughTesting website to be a bit more in line with the topic :)

#slow #progress #coding #marketing #pages

I am working this weekend to finalise the content for the upcoming #GoodEnoughTesting workshop:

- I am trimming a lot of the previous content to keep it to only the essential
- Rethinking the code and exercises I previously used

#GoodEnoughTesting #GET #Testing #Ruby #Rails

Playing a bit this weekend with Claude Code and various ways to prompt it to generate #goodenoughtesting that I can review before it starts to write wall of test cases.

PS: I work on a new and improved @goodenoughtesting workshop. Will announce it soon!

There are still some few places available for the #GoodEnoughTesting workshop happening on Thursday 23 January.

Earlier this week, I finally received "Professional Rails Testing - Tools and Principles" by @JasonSwett from Amazon. I can't wait for the winter vacation to have time to dive into it.

I skimmed it and recommended it to participants of my #GoodEnoughTesting workshop yesterday!

#GoodEnoughTesting #Applied #TestCase #Design

I like to apply when possible the test design techniques on real code. Here I reviewed a bit of code from the open source Rails app from @zammadhq and applied a systematic process to extract test cases:

The entire process took me about 30 minutes at most, considering I already had the Open Graph image from a post I published about the #GoodEnoughTesting workshop some time ago. And I used that image for the embedded shoutout.

There are still discounts available for #GoodEnoughTesting Workshops for December and January sessions.

This weekend is your opportunity to enhance your testing skills without breaking the bank.

Starting the 4th session this year of #GoodEnoughTesting

The big Miro board for tomorrow's #GoodEnoughTesting workshop

I am looking forward to the 4th session of this workshop - I have already improved with the feedback I have received so far.

PS: I just launched 2 new session for December -> https://goodenoughtesting.com

You can book the workshop with 20% discount until end of November. After that the price will increase.

I invite you to join a 3 hours live online practical workshop that teaches you systematic test design techniques for writing effective and efficient test cases focused on #Ruby and Ruby on #Rails developers.

This is #goodenoughtesting #workshop @goodenoughtesting

#GoodEnoughTesting is fully booked also for the second session in November

Again I am so happy to see so much interesting in this testing workshop for #Ruby developers.

I will soon schedule more workshops in December

I am working on the #GoodEnoughTesting workshop and preparing it for next week, and I just now discovered that Miro has a code block with proper syntax highlighting.

Pretty handy for a workshop - to edit it in place while brainstorming with participants.

Here is a short video I made to explore testing from a developer's perspective. I highlight some existing definitions of #testing that I find valuable and extract key points relevant to developers.

The #GoodEnoughTesting workshop session planned for 1st November is now fully booked.

Thank you for all the shoutouts and the help. The workshop was booked in about 6 days sincer I published it.

Spending some time to clarify for #GoodEnoughTesting #Workshop what is the intended audience.

This is the current draft of what I plan to publish. I feel it is a bit too much text, but I'm not sure what graphics to add there.

What do you think? What is missing?
