We aren’t perfect…
Introducing new bugs is easy!

We can try harnessing our code

Writing a Unit Test

public class EmployeeTests


{
[Fact]
public void PerformWork_Adds_DefaultNumberOfHours_IfNoValueSpecified()
{
//Arrange
Employee employee = new Employee(...);

//Act
employee.PerformWork();

//Assert
Assert.Equal(1, employee.NumberOfHoursWorked);
}
