Abstract
My current coding focus, though, is writing so-called “unit tests” for our next generation of software (the aforementioned Profiles system). In many ways, these are tedious but necessary. It’s repetitive work and it doesn’t produce anything exciting to show end-users. However, I guess I do think that software unit testing is really interesting even for non-coders to understand: because it’s quite a simple way that you can learn how modern coding practices try to ensure software correctness, which affects absolutely everyone who uses a computer.
