Notes to self:
- iso-8859-1 is not the same as ASCII. You'd have thought, that after 3 years in a quatrilingual country, you'd know this.
- For developers that have to test their own code:
- Stop thinking like a coder/creator, and start thinking like an intruder - "how do I break this software?"
- go through all the code you wrote and write down each confirmed behaviour. This is what needs testing.
- Write a series of input/action procedures that collectively confirm each behaviour.
- Start the procedure. Note all irreularities and bugs until you come across a blocking bug. Fix all the bugs. Continue the procedure.
- Once this is done, use the code as a user would several times, each time doing different things like deleting stuff etc. that a normal user expects to work. Not so much code paths as UI paths.
