Feature flagging and testing
What's this blog post about?
Sam Stokes, co-founder of Rapportive, shares his insights on testing and feature flagging. He suggests explicitly testing both sides of the flag to manage increased complexity and catch potential issues in old code paths. This practice also serves as a reminder to clean up old code and delete flags when necessary. Additionally, it can provide pushback against having too many interacting flags, prompting refactoring or flag retirement.
