Forgot the negative test case
Mar. 19th, 2009 01:22 pmWas using the "find locations near you" feature of a website. The UI is you pick a state from a list box, type in the city name, and push a "search" button. I made a typo on the city name and the website got a crash (one of those "Internal error" type pages). If I spell the city perfectly, the feature works fine. It looks like someone forgot to test the feature in the "not found" case. A classic case of only testing the success path.
