Our company "architects" decided we needed 80% coverage minimum. On a mostly .Net 4.8 codebase. Hundreds of programs used in prod, with barely any tests in sight.
It's a fucking nightmare.

    Ah, the classical "just introduce tests in a legacy codebase", what can go wrong?

    My condolences, it's always a BITCH to handle

    Fixing that bug you just found in prod : half a day. Adding enough tests so the app is now at 80% coverage : a whole fucking week. My student colleague was not impressed. I was like "yup, that's what jobs are like".
