就在今天，我不得不更改一个类，之前已经为其编写了单元测试。 测试本身写得很好，包括我甚至没有想过的测试场景。 幸运的是，所有测试都通过了，我的更改很快得到了验证，并自信地放到了测试环境中。

单元测试的一个好处是，它们可以作为说明代码行为方式的文档。好的测试有点像参考实现，团队成员可以通过查看它们来了解如何将他们的代码与您的代码集成。

当您手动测试软件时，通常会使用一小组测试/操作。最终，您将自动修改输入数据或操作，以便围绕已知问题进行导航。应该有单元测试来提醒您某些事情不能正常工作。

我建议在编写代码之前编写测试，添加新的测试/数据来改进主代码的功能!

Unit Testing is one of the most adopted methodologies for high quality code. Its contribution to a more stable, independent and documented code is well proven . Unit test code is considered and handled as an a integral part of your repository, and as such requires development and maintenance. However, developers often encounter a situation where the resources invested in unit tests where not as fruitful as one would expect. In an ideal world every method we code will have a series of tests covering it’s code and validating it’s correctness. However, usually due to time limitations we either skip some tests or write poor quality ones. In such reality, while keeping in mind the amount of resources invested in unit testing development and maintenance, one must ask himself, given the available time, which code deserve testing the most? And from the existing tests, which tests are actually worth keeping and maintaining? See here

测试驱动开发中经常被忽略的一个主要部分是可测试代码的编写。乍一看，这似乎是一种妥协，但您会发现可测试代码最终也是模块化的、可维护的和可读的。 如果你仍然需要说服别人，这是一个关于单元测试优点的简单演示。

单元测试的全部意义在于使测试变得简单。这是自动的。“make test”就完成了。如果您面临的问题之一是难以测试代码，那么这就是使用单元测试的最佳理由。
