The Kluever Maneuver: Writing Tests That Fail Before Fixing Bugs

Jordi Gómez Hernández publishes article on regression-test technique

1 Oct 31 11:05 AM · 11d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 1 of 4

Article posted to Lobsters and Hacker News describing a method for writing tests that demonstrate bugs before fixes are applied, attributed to Kurt Kluever.

“But what if the test accidentally already passed before the alleged bugfix and the alleged bugfix didn't actually work? In that case the added test gives false confidence that the bugfix worked.”
