QotD: Testing is like...

I sometimes feel that writing tests is a lot like brushing your teeth. Dentists will tell you that there are better ways and worse ways to brush, but in all honesty, if you just do it at all you���re way ahead of the game. I���m going to try and follow that philosophy and not worry about doing tests perfectly as long as I���m doing them at all.

Now that is something to think about ... so have you brushed your teeth lately? :-D
