Unit Testing Considered Useful

Testing is an important part of application development hardware engineers, in particular, have a long established history of testing for the obvious reason that it's awfully hard to rebuild a microprocessor every time a bug pops up in the design stage-not to mention the enormous headaches such bugs generate on the software side. In this installment of Scientific Programming, we'll discuss the role of testing in the software development process and examine ways to leverage automated unit testing in your projects
