What is your experience with testing?
- I have experience writing unit tests and integration test for a backend application that I worked on. - The Systems Programming course I took in college taught me to be paranoid about looking for errors in code. - I am very motivated to improve in this area b/c in the previous application that I worked on was at a startup and we wanted to move fast so we did not write a lot of tests. Later down the road when we made changes to the code some other parts stopped working and I had to dig through the code to find out what happened. This made me realized that if we had a test suite that we could run every time we made changes, that would make it easier to catch what we broke. I learned things the hard way. - At Intel I used regular expressions to process files by mapping, deleting, and inserting strings in each file.
