  • Why do I need a unit testing tool?

    Why do I need a unit testing tool?

    You could probably meet the deadlines and test the logic behind every LOC.  When dealing with a function that incorporates multiple logic paths and various edge cases, the traditional approach of cluttering the function with numerous assert statements for different scenarios can lead to code bloat. This not only makes the code harder to read…
