Software

Bamboo is undoubtedly the weakest link in the Atlassian family. Somehow it seemingly did not enjoy the same level of love and attention as its siblings, Jira, Bitbucket, you name it. It’s the middle child, the Ringo Starr, an app that apparently put together by a gang of 3-rated grumpy developers from some forgotten location. It’s so irrelevant that it even got it’s ‘cloud’ status confiscated.

When it comes to software testing, Test Driven Development (TDD) is the new politically correct. TDD, alongside with its variants, like BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) are particularly en vogue these days with dozens of projects built around these concepts. You can’t even go into any job interviews without claiming you are a true believer of TDD.

Unit testing is so central to software development, that code bases with next to none test coverage hardly could make their way to production. Your blogger, same as many of you, live in a world where time and resources are scarce. One will have to be mindful of on what to test and what not to when working on an under-tested code base.
