You raise some interesting points about issues with the method.
I had used the approach in your second paragraph above.
I agree that it can have the issue you mention. But is this not more or less the same as the issue that even test code can have bugs in it? But we still use test code. For that matter, even human testers doing manual testing can make mistakes. But we still do manual testing.
- mannykannot 10y agoI agree that it is a valid technique, and in fact it is widely used: a minimal case is when we use a test account ID to stand for all accounts. The pessimist in me was looking for the exceptions, which is actually not a bad trait when you are testing.
