[LRUG] Number of tests over time?

[Frederick Cheung]

5 years, something like 9/10 people total (not all of them still left), 8500 specs (of which a 100 or so are integration specs). Many more if you count the ones that have been deleted when the corresponding functionality was canned (we had about 200 more specs a month ago, but I’ve been doing some pruning recently)

Hi all,

I was idly wondering earlier on about how our test suites change over the life of a project. New features almost definitely mean more tests, but refactoring (in my experience) makes some tests redundant, so it's not necessarily a monotonic increase over time. Therefore, just to satisfy my own curiosity: (1) How long has your project been in development? (2) How many people work on it? (3) How many specs / unit tests do you have, and (4) How many integration / acceptance tests or cukes do you have?

I'll go first:

I've been working on this project since the beginning of January as the sole developer, and I've currently got 434 specs and 55 cucumber scenarios (with 204 steps).

(Obviously this is in no way meant to be a scientific survey. Just idly wondering how others work) 

Cheers!

Tim
