It has become time for me to review and renew what I had originally called Rapid Test Case Creation or Action Target Scenario. Both of these were poor names and I’m now in favour of Lean Test Documentation.
A name that was suggested to be me was Lint Free Test Documentation; why? Because they contain no fluff.
The whole purpose of the method was to reduce the amount of unnecessary effort that was being poured into test creation. My co-workers were spending more time documenting tests than executing tests. If you know me this is against my motto. If you’re not testing; you’re not testing.
One of the issues that has been highlighted over the past two years is that people get hung up on the dots and dashes when a more sentence like structure would have been better. It detracted them from the purpose of the process. User Interaction testing for the win.
So stay tuned as I revamp it with at least 50% more vampire.
