Software Testing Testing Your Coding Habits

Like most developers I have developed a rather long list of coding habits, some good and some bad but after reading this article posted on Object Mentor I'm probably going to change a few things. The article titled "Testing Will Challenge Your Conventions" is an interesting post about how coding habits or standards affect a Software Tester. I particularly like the part about how tests are like "code clarity". Now of course I don't agree with all of it, especially since its heavily weighted on unit testing and I don't think that's the end all to be all testing solution. Which makes it kind of silly to gear your coding standards to one testing method. However, its a good read for any developer check out the post here.
