RE: Testing Searcher Object

Eikonne,

I’d probably start like this (and then let the code take me):

-          Set up a failing test which is an interesting combination of input categories

-          To get that passing, for each category set up tests which get a hit if a search target is there, and no hit if a search target is not there.

-          Some examples of multiple hits

-          My first test is green yet?

I would not be trying for all combinations, but I’d likely be looking for edge cases.
And wondering if categories can overlap.

Hi -
We were having a conversation about testing a "searcher" object.  Basically, this object does a search based on the inputs passed into it.  Do tests have to be written for every permutation of inputs for the class to have been tested properly?

Thanks.
