| Nov 30, 2017 at 1:56 | comment | added | MaxW | Having gone through methodology changes let me assure you that to drive such change requires a sponsor with high enough authority to drive the change. The ripple effect of of an organizational methodology change is wide. | |
| Oct 25, 2013 at 12:34 | comment | added | drabsv | "told me that it would be nice" - this implies that he only made a suggestion to you, no an explicit requirement or am I wrong? In either case, I can't see why not have a discussion with him first over pros and cons. | |

| Apr 4, 2013 at 14:57 | comment | added | user5305 | @Angelo agreed, yet when the project isnt going anywhere, it can still take less to to do that than to reteach and manually do the testing for every single change, every time someone new joins the company | |
| Apr 4, 2013 at 12:29 | comment | added | Angelo | @RhysW, the reality is never a choice between "one-time-writing-of-automated-tests" vs "50x manual testing". Getting to the point of correctly implementing automated testing where it has not existed before is a VERY LONG process with a long-term ROI. It requires deep changes in the organization and any kind of change is particularly difficult for newcomers to pull off. | |
| Apr 4, 2013 at 7:41 | comment | added | lortabac | @RhysW One of the reasons why I am afraid of this responsibility is that I am new. I think removing this part of the question would give an incomplete picture of the problem. | |

| Apr 3, 2013 at 15:23 | comment | added | user5305 | One more question, i dont think being a new comer affects this question, its not you dont want to do it because youre new, but because you dont want it to become your responsibility, is this correct or not? If yes then we can edit the question to be more general and attract more answers | |

| Apr 3, 2013 at 13:15 | comment | added | user5305 | Whats slower and more painful, one time writing of automated tests, or 50 times, manual execution for an old legacy codebase trying to test one of your changes? | |
