Resolving Patterns
Most recommended:
- DATA-DRIVEN TESTING: this pattern is one of the most applied on the field (even if nobody knows that it's a pattern!)
Other useful patterns:
- DON’T REINVENT THE WHEEL: applying this pattern will help you develop reusable testware
- REFACTOR THE TESTWARE: re-design the tests so that they are more efficient
