Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!
Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.

#1: Initial revision
My personal opinion (I am not speaking for Codidact) is that we named the community "Software Development", not "Programming". Testing, both unit testing done by the developer and functional/performance/integration testing done (usually) by testers, is part of the software-development process writ large. I hope that questions about test frameworks, testing strategies, and testing processes would be welcome. (I would hope the same for at least code-adjacent documentation, like Doxygen, too.) Further, here's the short description at the top of the Q&A category that was set up when we launched this community: > General Q&A about programming, scripting, software design & architecture, process, tools, testing, and more. If this description no longer matches the desires of the community then of course we can adjust it, but it's a sign that at least in our early discussions folks thought testing was in scope.
