On: Thoughts on Testing

[MoreQARespect]

It's almost the same thing, I think. I do the same thing with text artefacts and screenshots.

There is a hidden cost to snapshot testing - theyre highly susceptible to flakiness. The tests have to be hermetic and the all the code has to be deterministic or it doesnt work.

Achieving those two things is not always easy.

Yeah. They're highly flaky, but counterbalanced by being very easy to update when they break

IMO, if you've decided to test flaky behaviors of the code anyway, you may as well do it in a way where updating is really easy
