Most effort in too many test suits goes into ensuring that the code does what it is thought it should do, especially when it given the correct data. The two most oft omitted testing strategies are :
To sum up, let your tester be an independent person, with independent authority and equal voice. Don't sideline either the role, or the task into a ghetto of afterthought and slack space. If you do, you open the door to the salesmen overselling, the analyst overanalysis, the designer over designing, the planner under-planning, the coster under costing, the programmer badly coding and the under whelmed customer going elsewhere at the trot. --- Throughout this, I have referred to the tester and other job functions possibly, as he. This is for simplicity only. In my experience, female testers often outshine their male counterparts in several ways. The two most common of these are, again 'in my experience', they generally are better at sticking to the task at hand and not drifting off in new and interesting, but unspecified directions. A particular failing of mine. They also seem better at handling changes, interruptions, restarts and random variations than most guys. Possibly because they are less prone to righteous indignation and anger than us? Suffice it to say, that my choice of gender nouns was not by way of bias. In reply to Re: What goes in a test suite?
