'What is "bench-testing code"?
In reference to this answer to a Stack Overflow question: what is "bench-testing code"? (Not to be confused with benchmark.)
Presumably it is some kind of code that embedded inside comments and used in the context of QA/testing. But what is it exactly?
Solution 1:[1]
"bench testing" was used a lot in the electronics industry. It refers to testing a circuit on the work bench.
Solution 2:[2]
"Bench testing code" simply tests the functionality of a section of code.
Placing the actual "bench testing code" in comments provides a much more detailed description of what testing was actually performed.
In my opinion, code should only have a reference (filename) of the "bench testing code" which is maintained elsewhere.
