Honest to $deity, how did we ever write code without tests to verify functionality?
Last night I finally started copying cart*.t tests from Handel into Handel-Storage-RDBO. After changing them to use a different class to test against, they just work: which proves that the new storage layer works as intended; or at least as well as the DBIC layer does.
That in and of itself is always a cool feeling.
Every time I go through that type refactor or development I always wonder the same thing: How in the hell could I have ever done this without tests and shipped something that 'probably works'.
Seems like the dark ages. :-)
