On the left you see what we wanted the program to produce. On the right we see what actually happened. This is testing a small 'video store' application, and this test checks that the same movie cannot be added twice. Given what happened, it obviously can right now...
The focus is around testing a particular executable program with a variety of inputs. To start with, a plain text configuration file is created that tells...
