Good idea, generalising: it’s sampling mappings from arbitrary domains to a binary range (the message appears, the message does not appear). This gets more complicated when your range isn’t binary but the underlying intuition, to take an informed statistical approach, is a necessary evil for tests to keep pace with a program as its complexity grows. Just like many other industries. I recently learned about inspectors who sample cacao beans at the warehouse for the many ways they can go wrong before being processed. As someone who really appreciates strong examples to motivate learning generalised approaches to work, a variation of this article could be a great motivation to introduce people to parameter based testing, or (closely related) fuzzing.
