ou all write code and then toil to make it work. You build it, and then you fix it. Testing is an afterthought—something you do after you write the code. You spend about half your time in the unpredictable activity of debugging. Debugging shows up on your schedule under the guise of test and integration. It is a source of risk and uncertainty. Fixing one bug might lead to another and, sometimes, to a cascade of other bugs.
