What is the best way to go about testing that we handle failures appropriately?
- by Earlz
we're working on error handling in an application. We try to have fairly good automated test coverage. One big problem though is that we don't really know of a way to test some of our error handling.
For instance, we need to test that whenever there is an uncaught exception, a message is sent to our server with exception information. The big problem with this is that we strive to never have an uncaught exception(and instead have descriptive error messages).
So, how do we test something what we never want to actually happen?
