    It’s strangely satisfying when the “this will probably never happen” test case finds a problem during development.

    I had tests for deleting that were like

    • create item a
    • create item b
    • delete item a via the code under test
    • assert item a is gone
    • assert item b is still there

    I thought maybe the whole bit with item b was excessive, but sure enough one day I accidentally fucked something up and deleted all the items, and the test pointed it out before the bad code left my local machine.
