Despite these issues, the agent added valuable unit tests to the Spargine projects, but it requires careful oversight and refining of prompts for effective use.
A practical look at complexity, coverage, Copilot, and keeping your code ready to rock. If you have ever attended my conference session about coding standards or read my articles on dotNetTips.com, you already know I preach about cyclomatic complexity. That number matters. To me, it represents the minimum number of unit tests a method should … Continue reading Unit Tests: Keep Your CRAP Score from Wrecking the Show
Do you trim your applications? Do you configure your reusable DLLs to be trimmable? If you build class libraries, NuGet packages, shared internal frameworks, or utility assemblies, this is something you should care about. Trimming allows the .NET linker to remove unused IL when an application is published with trimming enabled. Done correctly, it can … Continue reading Make Your .NET Assemblies Trimmable: Smaller Apps, Faster Starts, and AOT-Ready Code
