Then you're doing your test data wrong. The point of crafted test data is that you *can* test what happens with an eight-digit phone number -- even if all your real data has seven-digit numbers. Be imaginative before your users are. And if your users do somehow discover a bug before you do, make a test case out of it and put it into your future crafted test data. > > My 2cts > > Klaus -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
