We had manual test case for "page looks correct" test. It consists of more than 10 checks, i.e. "no JavaScript errors", "no miss-spelled words", "consistent look across pages", "no broken links", etc. More than half of that list is already

Linear data is measured using logarithmic scale (..., 0.1, 1, 10, 100, ...). If you saw logarithmic scale ( http://www.ieer.org/log.gif ), you know that distance between 1 and 2 on logarithmic scale is much wider than between 2 and 3, and

Maven mixes many programming tools in one program: project building (make), dependency management(apt/yum), project management, etc. I replaced maven by ant+RPM+yum+Hudson in one large project, and everybody is happy.
