First is to determine what the exact interface(s) is to be tested and how. If you want to test an IE browser client on windows 7 it is substantially different than testing a GUI application on win 95-win 10 and max OSX and still again different if you want to do security testing on a Rest API.
Of course presumably you already use a unit testing framework yourself.

In my experience non trivial testing of non-trivial applications is going to require 'programming' in some sense of the word. Not in the languages that you are familiar with but in rather in terms of the testing tools. Complex tests or complex applications could also require supplementary tools written (probably by a developer) to supplement testing.
One complex case can be creating and managing versions of test data and loading that data into a database to allow version testing with a database.

You ask a 19-year old musician what kind of music he plays, and he responds, "Nothing you would like."

He is an Elf?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Confusing Elves and Vulcans is a classic, especially if you once in a while get to see nerds dressed up as one or the other.
And yes, it's right that I never claimed to have the power of precognition.

Yesterday my wife stopped by a mexicanish fast food place to grab dinner. On the audio system was playing "Don't stop believing" by Journey and the 20 some girl in front of my 53 year old wife said to the teen behind the counter, "Hey, cool music" to wit the kid said "yeah", which is a lot for a teen boy.
Anyway , all is not lost.
.... And it's all mixed up too btw.

Ron Anders wrote: On the audio system was playing "Don't stop believing" by Journey How could a 20 something have not heard that song umpteen times? Well, that just shows the venue a 20 something listens to isn't one I do. Of course, I grew up in an age when these songs were just hitting the charts and I don't know of any stations that are playing songs that are just topping the charts now. That's even in a strange area where I don't know the stations. They're either playing this type of music or "classical". Maybe I'm switching channels because they are playing just noise and I don't register it?? I remember when I was a teen, what I was listening to was just noise, corrupting "our" young. Do we have people now who are introducing a new song every week and I don't know it because it's just noise?

Did he repeat his question?
For all you know he may have asked you "Would you like to hear VanDyke?"
Hearing can get affected at an old age you know.

I do and prefer them over the STL (I also use VS6, which is not very compatible with STL. Not my choice.) as I know their reliability or lack of so and their working and logic. They are simple and allow me to easily use their features without having to modify much in my code.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

My vanity would like to believe that, but honesty and integrity force me to say otherwise.

Which proves my point. I grew up so long ago that honesty was still considered the best policy.
