Where did IBM blow all that smoke?
I am waaaaaaay to busy to be distracted today. There is a release going out on Friday and like usual there is a lot of work to do. So when I got a Dr. Dobb’s e-mail with something that looked somewhat test oriented that pointed me to IBM I went. This paper seemed like it took testing one step farther than record and playback testing as it would try to figure which ‘test case’ you were executing and offer to finish it out for you. The more I read the more I felt like I was reading sci-fi. Then I got to this on page 4 of 4: “Although these are currently unimplemented, we will give a brief overview of some of the possible approaches” I now know where the smoke was getting blown. Wow, good luck with that! I feel like someone from the testing community should say, hey we are working on these problems… and they are real hard to solve.
