<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div><br></div>
<div>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?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'll go first:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>(Obviously this is in no way meant to be a scientific survey.
Just idly wondering how others work) </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Cheers!</div>
<div><br></div>
