[Question] Could you point me to fragile tests that Fitnesse has?

Open RedasP opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

In Robert C. Martin's blog post https://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2017/03/03/TDD-Harms-Architecture.html it's mentioned that before 2008, some unit tests written for Fitnesse were fragile.

Could you point me to those tests? I would like to see in practice what's considered a fragile test and probably contribute to this repository by improving them.

At the moment I believe, and experience, the tests to be quite stable, although I won't claim the meet @unclebob quality standards. So I can't point you to tests he refers to, nor do I know whether they still exists in the codebase or have been refactored since.

We welcome new contributors and I believe there is still room for improvement of FitNesse. But fragile tests in the project itself is not something that I'm aware such improvements are most needed.

@unclebob can you point @RedasP to some tests?

How about an OS specific broken one #1254?
