August 24, 2005 - Grow Your Harness Naturally
I wrote this article for the March 2005 issue of Better Software. Now available for the first time online... enjoy!
I have worked with many testing common organizations where a common pattern is repeated over and over. It goes something like this — we realize there is more manual testing to do than time available, we decide to automate the testing, and we begin working on a test harness. Several weeks later, we have the start of a harness, but it’s barely useful and we still have not written any tests. At this point, we’re behind — so we abandon the harness and revert to manual testing.
