It seems to me that the application of test first design, calls into question the continued relevance of code-centric structural test techniques like path...
... Some of us believe that structural test design techniques were a bad idea even before test-first design. See "How to Misuse Code Coverage" [1] As far as I...
Now that I have established that there is still life in this list I have another poser. I believe that test tool evaluations (I am talking WinRunner, Silk etc)...
... Somewhat. But the key idea that underlies XP's rather simple, almost simplistic, notion of testing is much as you have here. If you are /satisfied/ that...

Hi, I agree with Brian but I once saw a presentation on a tool that allows to monitor the coverage of the code and goes on to suggest what combinations of ...
I would like to know, what are the different methods of doing Unit Testing ? There is ofcourse the J-Unit which is used to code testcases for a bit of code. Is...

Hi, ... There is something like condition coverage and I suppose there are tools that test it (the one we use doesn't). ... Well, you may have intentions but...

Mahesh (I hope this is your firstname) Not to confuse you. A method is not a tool. A tool usually supports one or more method (hopefully ;-) ). There are lots...
Well I'm looking at this as a tester who is willing to adopt a good practice from XP and is then seeking to re-evaluate the testing tools/techniques available...
... I think all test design techniques are heuristic, so there are only un-ideal ways to evaluate the completeness of tests. There are ways that are objective,...

Mahesh, I'd say yes. Method coverage is perhaps the first hurdle to tackle. If you are able to do it you will know that your test framework is usable and that...
Hi, I have a Class, an instance of which I need to test. Now, the object instance has say, 45 attributes. The Class supports a Query() method that...

Hi, Many database implementations have business rules that gouvern the possibilities to create, update, retrieve, and delete data. For instance when you create...
