Someone came up with the idea of using try and catch blocks in unit tests in Java: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 @Test public void test() {    try {       callSomeCode();    } catch (Exception e) {       assertEquals("foo", e.getMessage());    } } The above is tempting, but doesn’t work. If the code under test didn’t throw, then no assertion would ...

In Doctor Who the character Kamelion was a robot which could take any form. The physical prop they used was allegedly very troublesome and only understood by its creator, who wasn’t around to help put it right. So to the Chamelion function … Consider this code: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 ...
