What I find more common is for the business to be unprepared to make lateral changes to a product. Even rational unit tests are a medium term investment. You need to spend time developing features customers don’t see, and apply those tools for some time, to see quality differences. That can be difficult to justify in a number fairly normal business scenarios (low cashflow/reserves, high tech debt/regret, etc.).
To help offset the cost (and delayed benefits), I’ve always suggested phasing in unit test strategically. Pick a module or cross-section of the product that is suffering from bugs that customers see (i.e., affecting revenue) and add the minimum viable tests to that. Repeat as needed, and within months/years, you’ll have coverage that fits the business needs well.
One Young Woman’s Practical Wisdom about Virtuous Living Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/446095/aurora-griffin-how-i-stayed-catholic-harvard
it’s not really that hard to stay Catholic, even at a secular university — that is, if you are committed to your faith going into college.
.. I think it would be difficult to become Catholic at a place like Harvard.
.. On the other hand, if you come to campus knowing that there are going to be certain challenges and opportunities .. then you can take advantage of the rich resources at your disposal as a Catholic at a place like Harvard
.. I only really stopped and thought about the fact that I had written a book when I had to go through the painful and repetitious process of editing.
.. Lord willing, I would be able to write a different, wiser version of the book every year for the rest of my life.
friendships of utility (classmates), friendships of pleasure (“party friends”),
.. true friendships, which inspire both people to greater virtue.
.. you will his good precisely because it is good for him, not because you gain from it in any way. I’ve had maybe ten of these friends in my life, and I think that’s more than many people ever get. I should add that a couple of them are not Christian.
.. there would come a day when I had to choose between what I most wanted and Christ. Whether that was being popular, or getting some promotion, or whatever I really wanted, one day I would be tested to see if I loved something else more than God.
.. For me, that day came when I was interviewing for the Rhodes Scholarship, and the interview committee asked me whether I would support embryonic-stem-cell research

The Surprising Benefits of Failure
The second goal is to reinforce the culture of failing―and learning―fast. Failure is the byproduct of good testing. “Our test success rate is about 10%,” says Jesse Nichols, head of web and app analytics and growth at Nest. “But we learn something from all our tests.”
.. An experiment gone wrong doesn’t have to mean someone goofed. In a culture of growth, it should mean that you tried something new, measured the results, and learned that the change didn’t help the bottom line. If your tests are always successful, you’re probably not testing often enough or aggressively enough.
.. “If you view your optimization program as a strategic method for learning about your customers and prospects—for truly understanding their mindset—rather than a tactical tweaking program, you can take a broader perspective and find the gains in every test.”
