Hey everyone, this is Loren from Donut Team and welcome to yet another Tuesday Topics blog post!

This week, I've been a bit busy with real life stuff but I have still been working on Donut Team things here and there. It's all kinda mundane but I'd still like to talk about it.

I tend to pride myself on making things that work pretty well. That said, I can, at times, be a bit reckless with some changes and it's something I've been trying to work on to avoid pushing broken changes to production.

One safeguard against this that I started implementing this past week is automated code testing with Mocha, a testing framework for Node.js.

At the moment, I'm working on adding various tests to Donut Box, our shared code library I've discussed a bit before, to help ensure that code that's used across our various codebases continues to function as intended even if I make changes to it in the future.

Right now, I have around 30 tests implemented for various utility functions and I plan to add more as I develop the library and our various services.

Here's to hopefully fewer bugs in our future! :)

Thanks for reading another one of our Tuesday Topics posts! See you again next week.

P.S.S.: I will be out of state next week so you should expect a Tuesday Topics hosted by @Borb. I'm sure it will be something!
