I hope this chapter opened your eyes about the possibilities of automated testing. We saw some practices around how to make tests easier to read and provide information facilitating faster finding and fixing of failures. We also detailed some practices on how to organize tests and help to make them easier to read, more concise, and more effective.
This chapter should give you more than a few practices that you can put in your tool belt to make automated testing work better for you, or provide more benefits, and to help improve the quality of your code base, while at the same time letting automated testing improve your software development experience.
The next chapter goes on to detail ways of making Visual Studio work in our favor. We'll look at ways of making Visual Studio operate more efficiently, work to our advantage, and ways to make working with Visual Studio friendlier.
