Why

Letter from Kevin Poorman, Salesforce Senior Developer Evangelist

I've been developing software over half my life, and I remember the day I was introduced to writing tests. At first, I found the concept confusing. Why waste time writing more code to test the code I actually wanted to run? Thankfully, my mentor forced me not only to write tests, but to teach testing to the next new guy. My code has never been the same. I firmly believe the practice of writing tests crafts us into better developers. Testing not only proves code works, it helps us keep things tightly organized, decoupled, and reusable. Testing helps our corporate bottom line, and saves us from deploying nightmare scenarios. It is our hope that Testing in a Box will inspire and craft you, and your Community Group members, into writing useful tests. Along the way, we're sure we'll all become better developers.
