Its Demo Day!

Generally, Im grateful to be a fellow in CodeCollab Cycle 2.
We had two weeks of Testing the App before Demo week and it was such a learning experience for me. It gave me a deeper understanding of its importance and how it can make you a better dev.

In Our case, we did the testing after building the app so we had to test the methods we already had in place. Writing Tests helped us to see the faults in the App and minimize the breaking changes in the app(as thats what they are for, isnt it?). One of the major things, writing tests helped me understand is that the final goal isnt to make the test pass but to make sure the test is testing what youre meant to test.

I also appreciate how writing tests is very encapsulated, in the sense that writing tests for one controller(e.g shifts), doesnt affect another controller(e.g workers). Testing is definitely something I look forward to doing more.
I also learned how its beneficial to communicate Coding Fatigue effectively when you are experiencing it. Coding Fatigue allows you to miss out on your little mistakes and hence, makes you stuck. Its real and a normal thing that happens to devs but it becomes a problem when its not properly communicated with your team members.

Its okay to be tired. It doesnt mean youve lost your competence. ~Arit

Overall, Im glad at how much my teammates and I have grown in our professional team communication, collaboration, and technical skills in the past 12 weeks. This Cycle is gonna be a wrap at Demo Day and its one that gives me mixed feelings.
Thank you for the honor of reading and staying through on the CodeCollab Cycle 2 journey with this blog!
