This is the comments and discussion page for the developer.* article, "Test Smarter, Not Harder [1]," by Scott Sehlhorst.

Sehlhorst writes, "When we’re testing any software, we are faced with the tradeoff of cost and benefit of testing. With complex software, the costs of testing can grow faster than the benefits of testing. If we apply techniques like the ones in this article, we can dramatically reduce the cost of testing our software. This is what we mean when we say test smarter, not harder."
