I am also a bigfan of TDD, sadly most companies who hire me for contracts use the "we do not have time for this" excuse, even if i show them that it saves time/money in the long run.
Luckily some even pay for TDD development.
If we hadn't done TDD here, we would have believed that we are testing the proforma invoice when it fact we hadn't! TDD has saved us from implementing a buggy test (and potentially a buggy implementation)!
So do TDD! It is a very useful software engineering discipline!

aaaand...it _passes_!?✅ Wait, why is that? It should have failed! I told you that different data sources are accessed depending on whether it's a real or proforma invoice, remember!? So something's fishy here! I've also shown you the code on how to post a (proforma) invoice... except that line 2 and 3 should have been swapped! 🙃 - otherwise it doesn't generate the proforma invoice, but posts the _real_ invoice!

Lots of laughter, old friends, new faces: our annual symposium brought about 90 people from different career stages, disciplines and roles in the #academic system together. We discussed the differences between #quality assurance and policing #research practices, learned about galaxy and #nanopublications, and caught up with #reproducibility related projects.
To everyone who participated, contributed and joined us: Thank you for making this a lively and energetic event!

#Windows11 so far seems like it's the best #marketing tool and product to encourage #people to switch to #Linux or #FreeBSD.
Not only is it great to see new people exploring these OSes, it's awesome to see them #discover #joy in using them.
I stumbled across this gem of an article yesterday about Microsoft's continued "excellent" QA track record. Great marketing indeed. 🤣
