What Gives? Test Case Reuse
Have you ever thought of selling your test cases?
I am pretty sure that most of you have not. This is not surprising because usually the Test Cases are written for internal usage and thus are not in such a quality that will allow you to "sell" them or even to "reuse" them internally, right?
Have you ever thought why nobody sells them?
I believe that there are several reasons, here are two of them:
- Never thought about Test Cases as an assets.
- The code is purely designed and implemented.
According to Microsoft, this is something they are thinking of. James Whittaker blogged about it and you can read about it here.
Think about it, creating libraries of test cases that can be reused by others...sounds interesting, no?
What do you think?
NOTE: Test Cases can be manual test cases that are composed using Excel, Word, Test Director and so forth, however I mean Automated Test Cases.
