good Tester.

If something stupid can be done, it will be done.

I've seen this enough times that I laughed without watching it. Funny stuff.

This is why it's important to have tests that assert a system's failure modes too.

shouldFitTriangleInTriangleHole()

shouldNotFitTriangleInAnyOtherHoles()

Bonus points for just parameterizing it.

 assert triangleObject.shouldFitInHole(triangleHole) == true

assert triangleObject.shouldFitInHole(squareHole) == false

Anything can be a square hole if you're brave enough.

If a function takes all types of variables it's your own fault!

Testers are a godsend

Poor development! If something can be done, people will do it.

Best way is to not allow it and provide no feedback.

Wait, provide no feedback?
