A few weeks ago I posed a question in my Opinion Time! series that got quite a lot of conflicting opinions. The question itself was simple enough: should code reviews include some kind of manual testing? I figured this would be pretty straightforward, and a clear and obivous winner would emerge over whether or not this was a good idea.

Hoo boy, was I wrong.

The opinions I got ran the gamut, from “nope, that’s unnecessary” to “well, maybe a little” to “abso-friggin-lutely.” I’ve compiled some of the best ones in this post in the hope that someone (maybe even future me) will stumble across them and be reminded that there are always many ways to accomplish the same task.
