Hi Joerg,

Why not mix it?


I forgot something:

As described in the "tool support for life-cycle testing" in "Software Test Automation", Mark Fewster & Dorothy Graham, Addison Wesley, 1999, ISBN 0-201-33140-3, on page 7, the "tool support is available for testing in every stage of the software development life cycle". As they did not mixed them we also should not do it because they have different views (e.g. testing =! debugging, so a debugging tool =! test tool).

We are talking about differnt tools:
- Coverage tools (Unit tests)
- Debugging tools (Unit tests, integration tests)
- Dynamic analysis tools (Integration tests)
- *Test execution and comparison tools* (between integration-
  and system tests)

[ ... snip lengthy description ...]

I really DO already know that those are different things.

The only very short question I was asking was wether the questions we currently are asking in regards for one of them might be applied for the other ones too.

You know like bikes, cars and motorcycles are all different but they all have wheels.

But I understood and support your argument that we should focus on the thing started by Joerg before asking only slightly related questions, so we should do that and not discuss any more about the other types of tests.

Kind regards,
Bernd
