Should Developers Still Learn How to Write Tests?

章节 1：告别手动编写测试：从“编写代码”到“掌控行为”

📝 本节摘要：

讲者提出了一个具有争议的观点：随着AI的发展，开发者不应再手动编写每一行测试代码。引用Node.js创始人Ryan Dahl的观点，强调工程师应专注于应用程序的“行为”而非具体的“语法”。同时，讲者预言QA工程师的角色将在未来几年内面临被自动化取代的巨大压力。

[原文] [Speaker]: so here's a tricky question With all the advancements in the AI that we have nowadays should you still be writing tests for your application or should you just ditch them and let some kind of a tool automate all of that

[译文] [Speaker]: 这是一个棘手的问题：鉴于如今AI的所有进步，你是否还应该为你的应用程序编写测试，或者你应该干脆放弃手动编写，让某种工具来自动化这一切？

[原文] [Speaker]: and I'm talking about unit tests integration tests contract testing E2 testing whatever you can think of I believe that there's no need to do so much testing anymore

[译文] [Speaker]: 我指的是单元测试、集成测试、契约测试、端到端（E2E）测试，任何你能想到的测试。我相信再也没有必要做那么多（手动）测试了。

[原文] [Speaker]: Now let me explain I'm talking about the manual test ownership meaning writing every line of the test by hand and actually knowing what your tests look like I mean the code specifics

[译文] [Speaker]: 让我解释一下，我指的是手动测试的所有权，即亲手编写每一行测试代码，并且确切地知道测试长什么样——我是指代码细节。

[原文] [Speaker]: Even the creator of NodeJS Ryan Dal also states that writing syntax directly is not what software engineers should do anymore and I totally agree with that

[译文] [Speaker]: 就连Node.js的创始人Ryan Dahl也指出，直接编写语法不再是软件工程师应该做的事情了，我完全同意这一点。

[原文] [Speaker]: Instead what we should do is own the behavior We should know how the app should behave and let some automated tool write those tests for us Not only write but also adapt them as we change our production code

[译文] [Speaker]: 相反，我们应该做的是掌控“行为”。我们需要知道应用程序应该如何表现，并让某种自动化工具为我们编写这些测试。不仅是编写，还要随着我们修改生产环境代码而调整它们。

[原文] [Speaker]: So every time we change the production code the test should be updated in the background and run against the new application

[译文] [Speaker]: 所以，每当我们更改生产代码时，测试应该在后台更新，并针对新的应用程序运行。

[原文] [Speaker]: And by the way as a side note my tip to QA engineers you should really consider refocusing because QA engineering or writing tests rather is going to be automated even more compared to front-end development within the next years

[译文] [Speaker]: 顺便提一下，作为补充，我对QA工程师的建议是：你们真的应该考虑重新调整方向，因为与前端开发相比，QA工程或编写测试在未来几年内将更加自动化。
