# test

Is it worth to write the test for the simplest case in product project?

for example:

// In android ViewModel

val user = MutableLiveData<User>()

fun loadUser() {
    viewModelScope.launch {
         user.value = userRepository.getUser()
   }
}

Do I need to write a test for loadUser ? or it only show in a tutorial?

If you do TDD, yes. But in the end I would only write a test for it if it makes you feel safer.

I even write a test to create a new class or to stub out all the api that I need. But if you don’t feel that it adds value for you don’t do it

It is a nice opinion.

Things tend to get more complicated, so pinning requirements early is a good habit.

Also when there is already a test class its more likely your coworker also adds tests. It's easier to decide to write no tests when there are none to begin with.

I would also recommend a ui test here.. only then you know if the threading is done right.

Unit tests can very well be green and the app still crashes (wrong dispatcher is enough)
