How do I make testing a habitual part of my development work? - Code with Jason

One of the most common questions asked by Rails developers new to testing is: how do I make testing a habitual part of my development work?It’s one thing to know how to write tests. It’s another thing to actually write tests consistently as a normal part of your work.In order to share with you how to make testing a habitual part of your development work, I conducted a poll among some of my peers in the Rails world to see what keeps them in the habit of writing tests consistently. I also examined my own motivations.When I drew the commonalities among the answers, what I came up with was a trifecta not unlike Larry Wall’s three virtues of a great programmer. The trifecta is laziness, fear, and pride. Let’s examine each “virtue” individually.
