Issue UE-25350 “Hot reload does not compile changes to automation tests”, opened through a question on the answerhub, has been around for quite a while now and may be one of many blockers keeping you from writing unit tests in Unreal Engine. Which you should.
In the past year of UE4 development, I had problems figuring out how to structure my game code: where to put game logic code to keep it readable/maintainable, testable and reusable.
