  1 //: The goal of layers is to make programs more easy to understand and more
  2 //: malleable, easy to rewrite in radical ways without accidentally breaking
  3 //: some corner case. Tests further both goals. They help understandability by
  4 //: letting one make small changes and get feedback. What if I wrote this line
  5 //: like so? What if I removed this function call, is it really necessary?
  6 //: Just try it, see if the tests pass. Want to explore rewriting this bit in
  7 //: this way? Tests put many refactorings on a firmer footing.
  8 //:
  9 //: But the usual way we write tests seems incomplete. Refactorings tend to
 10 //: work in the small, but don't help with changes to function boundaries. If
 11 //: you want to extract a new function you have to manually test-drive it to
 12 //: create tests for it. If you want to inline a function its tests are no
 13 //: longer valid. In both cases you end up having to reorganize code as well as
 14 //: tests, an error-prone activity.
 15 //:
 16 //: In response, this layer introduces the notion of *domain-driven* testing.
 17 //: We focus on the domain of inputs the whole program needs to handle rather
 18 //: than the correctness of individual functions. All tests invoke the program
 19 //: in a single way: by calling run() with some input. As the program operates
 20 //: on the input, it traces out a list of _facts_ deduced about the domain:
 21 //:   trace("label") << "fact 1: " << val;
 22 //:
 23 //: Tests can now check these facts:
 24 //:   :(scenario foo)
 25 //:   34  # call run() with this input
 26 //:   +label: fact 1: 34  # 'run' should have deduced this fact
 27 //:   -label: fact 1: 35  # the trace should not contain such a fact
 28 //:
 29 //: Since we never call anything but the run() function directly, we never have
 30 //: to rewrite the tests when we reorganize the internals of the program. We
 31 //: just have to make sure our rewrite deduces the same facts about the domain,
 32 //: and that's something we're going to have to do anyway.
 33 //:
 34 //: To avoid the combinatorial explosion of integration tests, each layer
 35 //: mainly logs facts to the trace with a common *label*. All tests in a layer
 36 //: tend to check facts with this label. Validating the facts logged with a
 37 //: specific label is like calling functions of that layer directly.
 38 //:
 39 //: To build robust tests, trace facts about your domain rather than details of
 40 //: how you computed them.
 41 //:
 42 //: More details: http://akkartik.name/blog/tracing-tests
 43 //:
 44 //: ---
 45 //:
 46 //: Between layers and domain-driven testing, programming starts to look like a
 47 //: fundamentally different activity. Instead of a) superficial, b) local rules
 48 //: on c) code [like say http://blog.bbv.ch/2013/06/05/clean-code-cheat-sheet],
 49 //: we allow programmers to engage with the a) deep, b) global structure of the
 50 //: c) domain. If you can systematically track discontinuities in the domain,
 51 //: you don't care if the code used gotos as long as it passed the tests. If
 52 //: tests become more robust to run it becomes easier to try out radically
 53 //: different implementations for the same program. If code is super-easy to
 54 //: rewrite, it becomes less important what indentation style it uses, or that
 55 //: the objects are appropriately encapsulated, or that the functions are
 56 //: referentially transparent.
 57 //:
 58 //: Instead of plumbing, programming becomes building and gradually refining a
 59 //: map of the environment the program must operate under. Whether a program is
 60 //: 'correct' at a given point in time is a red herring; what matters is
 61 //: avoiding regression by monotonically nailing down the more 'eventful' parts
 62 //: of the terrain. It helps readers new and old, and rewards curiosity, to
 63 //: organize large programs in self-similar hierarchies of example scenarios
 64 //: colocated with the code that makes them work.
 65 //:
 66 //:   "Programming properly should be regarded as an activity by which
 67 //:   programmers form a mental model, rather than as production of a program."
