QuestionIntroducing tests into a legacy application? Pin
Stefan_Lang1-Sep-11 22:18

Our team has the task of maintaining and developing new features for a very old application. There is no budget (and no hope we can ever convince management) to rewrite it from scratch, so the only feasible way to keep this beast running is to gradually rewrite only parts of it, just as I have done before, occasionally.

It isn't quite that easy though, because, as I learned the hard way, even when I thought I completely understood a part of the program, errors kept creeping up. Often much, much later than when I initially wrote the replacement, making it much harder for me to understand my original thought process, and why it didn't work.

So I need tests, and the only valid method of testing under these circumstances that I can think of are Unit Tests. The problem is - I never worked with Unit Tests, I only know of them through articles that mention them, and therefore I only have a vague understanding of what they are and how they are supposed to be done.

Now I need some guidance where to start: I did search for articles and information on the web, but unfortunately didn't find anything useful that doesn't already require a thorough understanding of Unit Tests to start with. Somehow there don't seem to be any introductory articles - or I'm too stupid to find them. If anyone knows a link, could you please share?

As for books, I know there are literally thousands out there - but that is also my problem: which of them would be the right one? Could you advise some good picks to help out an old, experienced programmer, who for some reason never picked up the art of unit-testing?
