Re: Junit checks

This is probably a "no duh"... but don't assume that since certain
aspects of the tests are required, that everything will be a "walk in
the park"

 

Style checking does not replace:

-          a good code review

-          proper design

-          proper communication

 

Lately I've noticed that even if my own code matches style guidelines,
it does not mean my co-workers, or I a few weeks later, will understand
what I intended.

 

Thanks for the style checker though, it really does take a lot of the
drudgery out a code review though.  I'm amazed at the number of
developers that don't follow indention conventions.

I will do. I am sick and tired of bad tests being written. It gives us a
false sense we are testing more then we are. That sort of check will
hopefully make the developers think a little more
