    There’s a conventional wisdom that says software developers can’t test their own code.

    Having a bad memory helps, so you forget you actually wrote it

        Little tip I use: write your unit tests in a different language to the code under test...prevents copy+paste and makes you engage the brain a bit.

            Why are you telling us? It's actually the bigger software companies that fail to do their own jobs. But, since they have bigger budgets, they become more popular anyway.
