Re: [extremeprogramming] What has changed for you over the past 20 years?

I prefer not writing unit tests for configuration. If configuration is
wrong, then just fix it. I prefer writing unit tests for my control flow.
This means that my code will never have 100% unit test coverage.

As a concrete example, consider an object has a static/fixed hash. (Eg CA
=> California) or (12 => purchase order)...it’s either right or wrong, no
need to write lots of low value tests
