Your method of understanding test suites is a good idea but sadly would not work where I am. My co-workers would simply make the change and then shotgun debug until it worked. It wouldn't even be a concern except when explaining why its taking so long to make the change.

Take a look at the source code for CGI.pm. You can see it here. Then, tell me that again. :-)

Seriously, this method has worked in the past. It's kinda my big gun when nothing else works.


My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
