80% Code Coverage is Not Enough

An airhacks.fm conversation with James Wilson (@jgwilson42) about:
the result of pressing the break button on a BBC computer, and ZX
Spectrum, Space Invaders with Basic, extending minecraft with Java,
accidental tester career, best interviewees got programmer jobs,
hackers and testers, developers like the happy path, unit test
coverage is useless without good asserts, is 80% code coverage a
valuable target?, code coverage was used as a motivation for
writing tests, reflection utilities to increase code coverage,
getters / setters never brake, Code as a Crime Scene book, methods
longer than a screen are problematic, the ratio between trivial and
good asserts, a good javadoc and unit tests follow similar
principles, system tests are the most important one, unit testing
is good for checking error scenarios, the more tests you have, the
easier it is to locate errors, the Law of Triviality requires
standard names for test categories, integration testing and system
testing, reusing system tests as clients and stress tests, UK
retailer goes down, take the max load and double it, jbmc is
bytecode verification tool, diffblue cover generates unit tests,
generating unit tests quickly for legacy backends, playground, What
is the AI in “AI for Code”? blogpost, diffblue blog, @diffbluehq
