Let me add an addendum. If you are going to write a lot of short tests, don’t write a host of tests that are identical with only a few minor changes. That’s a maintenance nightmare. Instead, write one powerful (short) test that randomizes a lot. Then run that same test with many different seeds and allow parameter settings to be made from the command line.

Too many times I’ve seen a bunch of short tests that all needed to change because the original test they all copied was garbage. I had to make the same fix over and over again.

Agreed! I actually wanted to touch on this topic in a future post: constrained random as a test automation tool.
