approach

Method: Activity-Testing Pattern

Multiple abstraction levels

• Rule, intention of test (most clear, most stable)
• Workflow
• Technical Activity (least clear, stable)

emphasis of scope over form

• large tests (high complexity, effort, confidence in whole system)
• medium tests
• small tests (high number, isolation, speed, confidence in specific change)
