I've yet to decide if some of the testcases are a bit too
thorough or if<br>
they are just about right. I guess we can agree and assume
that the<br>
amount of bugs is somewhat correlating with how deep the
tests are. As I<br>
see it though, the deeper and specific the tests are, the
more mechanic<br>
running them is. Which leads us to exploratory testing...<br>

<div>I agree that some of the tests may seem excessively
long, and perhaps even dense. But, and even falling in the
role of advocating my own cause since it was I who wrote
some of the longer tests, I believe that in some specific
programs the existence of more complex and demanding tests
is justifiable in what QA is concerned and aims.</div>

I can agree with this - we just need to look at which are *long*,
which could be *longer, which could be *shorter* - or as I mentioned
in another reply - 2 testcases, which would just need robust
planning when it came to calling for tests.<br>

<div>IMO, a reliable option would be the use of a <span>automated
testing tool, such as Autopilot, extending features for
testing applications such as</span> unit testing,
regression testing, GUI testing, Web testing, distributed
testing and many others.</div>

I love the idea of Autopilot, but as you know we've been looking at
it for 2 cycles now and aren't much further forward - problems with
Autopilot and it's interaction with GTK2 don't make it easy.<br>
