I want to use GUID as my ID System, And I want to be sure that I will always get unique ID.

Should I add a test for uniqueness?

  • This is entirely up to you, but generating a new GUID (at least if you use the built in functions) is so unlikely to give a duplicate that it's not worth checking. – DavidG Sep 05 '16 at 14:12
  • It is only statistically unique. – paparazzo Sep 05 '16 at 14:13
