It is important that the system behaviors we create as developers are both accurate and precise. The level of precision required … Continue reading "TDD and Accuracy vs. Precision". These are not the same. One can be: Accurate, but not precise: “Pi is a little over three.” Precise, but not accurate: “Pi is 5.393858303895.”
