Thanks to Stas' tireless efforts to educate me as well as your articles and sample, I think that I've about got my confusion cleared up (part of which was due to a valid bug). There's one last piece that I'm still unclear on which your article did not mention--reponse handlers. Is this where the two paths diverge? I'm not sure that I see much difference between the way you do it and the highly magical stuff. > personally, I find my approach much more managable for first time users, but > YMMV. My mileage starting improving once I began to use your bug reporting skeleton. Starting with a working skeleton that implements correct practices is no doubt the best way to get started with this testing environment. Your article makes mention that this framework is easy--it is if you know how all the pieces work together (and there are several pieces). Cheers!
