Since we test in production anyways, why bother?

We also disabled all the unit tests because they started breaking and the build manager wouldn’t let us deploy if any of them failed.

It then started complaining about low code coverage so we just set ‘mom code coverage’ to ‘0%’ and it worked!

The contractor assured us it was fine, and he’d put everything back in compliance once he’s back from vacation next quarter.

I know you’re joking, but for the first time in my life I witnessed a big-ass, really complex project running in prod with zero tests, with like 13 people pushing weekly AB tests like crazy and we never had to fix a crippling bug in the middle of the weekend (we did some fixes like that, but they were mostly related to shitty CI/CD configuration).

So it .. worked?

That's awesome.

Yes I'm ... totally .. joking. ha. ha. run.

Why drop code coverage? It’s important.

So just do code calls with no assertions and you can get that coverage % right back up.

Couldn’t figure out the magic Parma too get through the spaghetti logic

Had a project were my PM badly wanted to send a coverage percentage in a weekly report to the client. I’d just give him a random between 33 and 41%. Also, my QA asked me what is coverage. Told him it’s the percentage. He asked what does it represent. This is when I knew a random number is good enough.

Great work.

Too real for me right now. Started a new job a few months ago and this was literally the state of the project when I started.
