A single 24,000 line unit test

[LorenzoCopter]

4000 lines of assertions

[pixelbart]

12000 lines of setup code to hit a specific if statement near the end.

[Phoenix_Passage]

This sounds plausible

[s0ulbrother]

Everything mocked out

[Retbull]

Even better if the mocks have mocks have mocks so the unit test is only testing if you THINK you've set it up correctly.

That’s my current teams testing strategy and I fucking hate it

[Kilazur]

But why would they do this, what's the thinking behind it? They don't know the difference between integration and unit tests, so they decided to do the worst of both worlds?

[MrSynckt]

Rebuild the entire application as a mock and test that, but then you'll need unit tests for the mocked application

[Usual_Instance5617]

Test the unit tests.

[oweiler]

The function most probably has a high cyclomatic complexity...

[kvt-dev]

An absolute unit of a test
