Link Post: The Zen of Application Test Suites
This article talks specifically about testing Perl but most of the concepts are relevant to all languages.
I think this is the important point:
[W]hat features do we want to see in large-scale test suites?
- Tests should be very easy to write and run
- They should run relatively quickly
- The order in which tests run should not matter
- Test output should be clean
- It should be obvious where to find tests for a particular piece of code
- Testing code should not be duplicated
- Code coverage should be able to analyze different aspects of the system
