I had a different experience with tests. 18 years ago at one company I laid out a test plan. Some of it was automated, the majority of it was manual. It applied specifically to a large custom built application. 2 years ago, I was at an entirely different company. They handed me their test plan documentation. Lo and behold, it was my document, now laden with another consulting company's logo. It was missing a few tests, but there was nothing new. I was angry for a solid 4 hours. Then I had to laugh about it. I would be flattered that my 18 year old work was still being used, but it was quite simply dated. If a big company was being cheap and getting things built by offshore resources who had no better way to accomplish it than by stealing my work, then they got what they deserved.
