| Feb 12 at 9:18 | comment | added | Doc Brown | @TannerSwett: there is nothing in wrong in asking a question which presents a false premise as long as the OP asks if that premise is really correct and does not insist on it. | |
| Feb 12 at 3:29 | comment | added | Sophie Swett | I think that this question is unclear and not useful because it rests entirely on a false premise ("unit tests are a part of the public API"). Now that you're aware that unit tests are not a part of the public API, do you still have a question? If so, can you edit this post to clarify what your question is? | |

| Feb 11 at 22:40 | comment | added | Flater | @JörgWMittag: The parts you omitted make it sound like OP is thinking that the lack of tests negatively impacts the API in the long run, and assuming that this is part of the kind of thing that versioning is meant to protect you from. It's not, but I can sort of see the train of thought there. | |

| Feb 11 at 16:16 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | "I […] believe that unit tests ARE a part of the public API as they can have […] effects on […] the functionality of the public API." – How? You can literally delete every single test and the API will not change one bit. | |

| Feb 11 at 15:22 | comment | added | Euphoric | "I ceartainly believe that unit tests ARE a part of the public API" You will need to expand upon this. Because it makes no sense to me. I think you might be mixing up some things and getting confused. | |
