Found some absolutely filthy and crucial bugs in the code most central to my performance/composition setup in #SuperCollider 🙀🙀🙀 Remember, kids: Don't forget to unit test.

@madskjeldgaard what kind of bugs were unearthed ? it'd be scary if you'd played with the system before with those little guys lurking in the background, waiting to wreak havoc

@madskjeldgaard "Unit Test 101" please? in other words, what is it and how to approach it?

[madskjeldgaard@sonomu.club]

@prinlu Unit test is an automated test that tests a small chunk of code, and the idea is you have a lot of these to test individual bits and pieces of a larger collection of code to ensure it's good, especially when you refactor or change functionality, it becomes very apparant if something has broken.

@whosebodyisthis It's in the code of how parameters work in my setup. Haha. Couldn't be more crucial.

@madskjeldgaard Ah but it’s so easy to just… skip the unit tests!

Until it’s not

It’s been about 10 years now, so I guess it’s time to start writing some automated tests for this app I sell
