TEST FOR THE FUTURE
summary
Claim: tests and test code balloon until resources hit a crossover point; introduce CI gated check‑ins, static analysis and a dashboard and the deadline shifts. Concrete numbers: one component has ~500k lines, test-related code totals ~3M, product size doubles every two years. Tools and metrics: gated check‑ins, cyclomatic complexity and crap index, static analyzers, virtualization/cloud scaling. One metric rolled out team‑by‑team sparks competition and produces measurable improvement.
