Post by Michelle Levesque, Google
Software Engineer
Today we're unveiling the public release
of "Testing on the Toilet": one of Google's little secrets that has helped us inspire our
developers to write well-tested code. We regularly write flyers about everything from
dependency injection to code coverage, and then plaster the bathrooms all over Google with
each episode, almost 500 stalls worldwide.
We've decided to share this
secret weapon with the rest of the world to spread our passion to other developers, and to
provide a fun and easy way to educate yourself (and the rest of your company) about these
important tricks and techniques.
We'll be posting episodes on the brand
new Google Testing Blog on a
regular basis and providing PDFs so you can print them out and put them up in your own
bathrooms, hallways, kitchens, moon bases, secret underground fortresses, wherever. Send your
photos and stories to TotT@google.com and let
us know how Testing on the Toilet is received at your company.
