Taven Shumaker (ID: 0000009c1cfdd74e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/22/2020 In a engineering landscape where testing too often gets overlooked i am glad that this is here. I've been writing apps with Recoil more and more and am getting to the point where tests are absolutely necessary. I'm glad I have an app that works well to assist with that.
