Testing fundamentals I wish I understood earlier as a developer

    What can help there is automatic test case minimization. This requires being able to replay test inputs while minimizing them, so there must be no nondeterminism in the system under test.

        Some issues with nondeterminism could be handled by converting the system to a deterministic version, but with extra inputs representing the nondeterminism of the original system. I can well imagine this being difficult in practice.
