Test Coverage Quotes

One of the headaches of high-tech test programmes is having to debug the test arrangements before you can start debugging the things you're trying to test.

An effective way to test code is to exercise it at its natural boundaries

I used Agitator on some code I had unit-tested, and it made me a better tester. As an Agitar Fellow, I look forward to the leverage of working with an outstanding organization as together we continue to improve the value of developer testing.

A 'passing' test doesn't mean 'no problem.' It means no problem *observed*. This time. With these inputs. So far. On my machine.

When you develop software, the people who write the software, the developers are the key group but the testers also play an absolutely critical role. They're the ones who ah, write thousands and thousands of examples and make sure that it's going to work on all the different computers and printers and the different amounts of memory or networks that the software'11 be used in. That's a very hard job.

Running the test suite like this allows us to catch problems when they are just introduced.

A program that has not been tested does not work.

As you get to the end of the project you want to run all the tests cases against one version and make sure that you know that that version passed everything. And so as you get late in the project you get a little more conservative about making radical changes to the software.

The real value of tests is not that they detect bugs in the code but that they detect inadequacies in the methods, concentration, and skills of those who design and produce the code.

Today, we can tell people we have a testing process and facilities in place on a nationwide basis.

Testing, we will never do enough of it.

We have a very active testing community which people don't often think about when you have open source.
