Chapter 3. Life After Compilation > For every test you can think of, there are ...

3.7. For every test you can think of, there are 10 tests waiting to be performed.

3.7.1. Don't worry about getting to 100 percent test coverage.

3.7.1.1. Problem: Lizbeth has entered a medical condition called the Test-By-Hand Coma State.

Sunita recognizes that Delaware is not a very good tester, so she turns to Lizbeth and asks her to finish testing the excuse_me_now program. Being very diligent, Lizbeth sits down and thinks about what else must be tested. She implements these test cases in Delaware's script, and runs the expanded test.

While doing that, she thinks of a few more tests, writes the code for those, and tests again. She changes excuse_me_now when she finds bugs, runs the test again, and then thinks of even more test cases. Everyone else goes home, and she keeps on testing. The hours slip by, she forgets to eat, thinks of more test cases . . . .
