//: The goal of layers is to make programs more easy to understand and more
//: malleable, easy to rewrite in radical ways without accidentally breaking
//: some corner case. Tests further both goals. They help understandability by
//: letting one make small changes and get feedback. What if I wrote this line
//: like so? What if I removed this function call, is it really necessary?
//: Just try it, see if the tests pass. Want to explore rewriting this bit in
//: this way? Tests put many refactorings on a firmer footing.
//:
//: But the usual way we write tests seems incomplete. Refactorings tend to
//: work in the small, but don't help with changes to function boundaries. If
//: you want to extract a new function you have to manually test-drive it to
//: create tests for it. If you want to inline a function its tests are no
//: longer valid. In both cases you end up having to reorganize code as well as
//: tests, an error-prone activity.
//:
//: In response, this layer introduces the notion of domain-driven *white-box*
//: testing. We focus on the domain of inputs the whole program needs to
//: handle rather than the correctness of individual functions. All white-box
//: tests invoke the program in a single way: by calling run() with some
//: input. As the program operates on the input, it traces out a list of
//: _facts_ deduced about the domain:
//:   trace("label") << "fact 1: " << val;
//:
//: Tests can now check for these facts in the trace:
//:   CHECK_TRACE_CONTENTS("label", "fact 1: 34\n"
//:                                 "fact 2: 35\n");
//:
//: Since we never call anything but the run() function directly, we never have
//: to rewrite the tests when we reorganize the internals of the program. We
//: just have to make sure our rewrite deduces the same facts about the domain,
//: and that's something we're going to have to do anyway.
//:
//: To avoid the combinatorial explosion of integration tests, each layer
//: mainly logs facts to the trace with a common *label*. All tests in a layer
//: tend to check facts with this label. Validating the facts logged with a
//: specific label is like calling functions of that layer directly.
//:
//: To build robust tests, trace facts about your domain rather than details of
//: how you computed them.
//:
//: More details: http://akkartik.name/blog/tracing-tests
//:
//: ---
//:
//: Between layers and domain-driven testing, programming starts to look like a
//: fundamentally different activity. Instead of focusing on a) superficial,
//: b) local rules on c) code [like say http://blog.bbv.ch/2013/06/05/clean-code-cheat-sheet],
//: we allow programmers to engage with the a) deep, b) global structure of
//: the c) domain. If you can systematically track discontinuities in the
//: domain, you don't care if the code used gotos as long as it passed all
//: tests. If tests become more robust to run, it becomes easier to try out
//: radically different implementations for the same program. If code is
//: super-easy to rewrite, it becomes less important what indentation style it
//: uses, or that the objects are appropriately encapsulated, or that the
//: functions are referentially transparent.
//:
//: Instead of plumbing, programming becomes building and gradually refining a
//: map of the environment the program must operate under. Whether a program
//: is 'correct' at a given point in time is a red herring; what matters is
//: avoiding regression by monotonically nailing down the more 'eventful'
//: parts of the terrain. It helps readers new and old, and rewards curiosity,
//: to organize large programs in self-similar hierarchies of example tests
//: colocated with the code that makes them work.
//:
//:   "Programming properly should be regarded as an activity by which
//:   programmers form a mental model, rather than as production of a program."
//:   -- Peter Naur (http://akkartik.name/naur.pdf)
