I am a new to development but I've noticed that lots of errors pump through code where "No method X defined for nil object" or something like that. I wonder if I could somehow make the case that we'd spend less time reacting to problems and bugs if we spent more time up front writing tests that could give us more than 19% code coverage.
Does anyone have advice for starting this conversation with my boss or during one of our standups? I know I could somehow pitch the value as "less problems later for more time spent now" but is there a more effective way to say it?
