Keep Your Tests DRY
[Note: I covered this topic somewhat in my earlier post on maintainable tests; however, this concept is so critical, in my opinion, that it deserves a separate post. You’ll continue to hear lots about this practice from me as I write and speak more!] Test code should always be treated with the same care production code is – because test code IS production code!
