Wrap up time. See you soon partner.
I just got off the phone with text and
0:00
told him that we were really close to
wrapping up the fully tested prototype.
0:02
He said that he was happy as all get out,
0:06
and that we moved as
fast as grease lightning.
0:08
I told him there were only
a few pieces left to test, and
0:12
that we'd get to it right away.
0:15
So how did it feel?
0:17
Did you get test infected?
0:18
I can't tell you how
good it feels to finally
0:19
introduce you to this
practice of unit testing.
0:22
We picked up a lot of new tricks and
best practices along the way.
0:24
I hope you had as much fun one as I did.
0:28
You'll be getting lots of practice as your
adventures here on Tree House continue.
0:30
I encourage you to browse open source
projects and look at their test suites.
0:34
If you see test methods that you can add,
feel free to do so.
0:38
After checking the contributor's
guidelines, of course.
0:42
I want to share one of my favorite
quotes about testing here.
0:45
Whenever you're tempted to type
something into a print statement or
0:48
a debugger expression,
write it as a test instead.
0:51
It's true.
0:54
Not only will your test then last forever
but it will also help others understand
0:55
that your code is working
how you intended it to.
1:00
There is still more to learn
in the unit testing world.
1:04
And I would love to walk you
through the practice of TDD, or
1:07
Test Driven Development.
1:10
What to remember is where you write
the test before writing any code.
1:11
Our project was a little more like
text driven development, am I right?
1:15
I can't believe you made it through all
these jokes and you're still here with me.
1:19
Oh, speaking of text,
he wanted to let you know that
1:23
not only are the stars in Texas big and
bright, but your brains are too.
1:26
You pick this stuff up really quick.
1:31
This solution we're providing is going
to help change his business, and
1:33
he says, my lands!
1:36
I thank you kindly!
1:38
Thanks so much for
hanging out with me and Tex.
1:40
We'll see you next time, right after
we wrap up these last few tests.
