Issue Summary
Scripts are not tested adequately
Category
Process
Examples
- Automation scripts are generated with a tool (for instance with a capture functionality)
- Scripts are deemed so simple that there is no need to test them
- Scripts are written by an expert that knows what he is doing
Questions
Who is writing the scripts? How?
Who is going to use them?
Resolving Patterns
Most recommended:
- TEST THE TESTS: Test the scripts just as you would test production code
- GOOD PROGRAMMING PRACTICES: Use the same good programming practices as in software development
- GOOD DEVELOPMENT PROCESS: Use good development practices for test code; the same as developers [should]] use for production code
