Test-driven development isn't just about testing; it's more about the development process as a whole. However, I do agree with your point about the importance of integration and end-to-end tests—these are crucial in the TDD approach as well. I find it challenging and expensive to cover numerous cases with integration or e2e tests. As you mentioned in your example, many cases were left untouched, even with a simple scenario. This issue becomes even more pronounced in complex enterprise-level applications, where the number of variables and potential cases for integration tests grows exponentially.](https://hashnode.com/posts/why-reaching-100-code-coverage-must-not-be-your-testing-goal-with-examples-in-c/66cefa886ffb3c281cee50ee/comment/66d1061ff3a6f8cf7f15a929#reply-66d1781fc163186394b997dc) Reply · Article · Aug 30, 2024 · [Why reaching 100% Code Coverage must NOT be your testing goal (with examples in C#)](https://hashnode.com/posts/why-reaching-100-code-coverage-must-not-be-your-testing-goal-with-examples-in-c/66cefa886ffb3c281cee50ee) [What is your opinion about test-driven development and the role of test coverage in this context?

So, it was nice to get more familiar with launchSettings.json through your article. One question: How is the switch between profiles made?

I use this design pattern quite a lot, and it really helps in test-driven development. Just one comment: I prefer using "Create" instead of "Get."
