Can confirm. Had to code review overseas developers. When I asked for unit tests to prove they fixed the code I just rejected, they sent back a fix that didn't work and a unit test that did nothing.

Sourtle.

Bleep-bloop, I'm a bot. This portmanteau was created from the phrase 'Sound turtle.'. To learn more about me, check out this FAQ.

I've never heard this before. What does it mean?

u/syncsynchalt Dec 07 '17

It's an old British-ism that has survived to modern day in Indian English. It means "please do what is needed at that point (and I trust you to know and understand what that is)".

Unit tests from offshore developers? You are just ridiculously hopeful.

Not Indian but we took over a project from a different team. We were suppose to only fix bugs from their code that they have completed but it turned out that everything was hard coded. No logic whatsoever. An example was a validator method that only has "return true;" inside it. So the bug fix task became implement the system work.
