I had heard that there are programs out there that one can use to facilitate the testing process of an application. From what I understood, there are applications that can, in essence, create a macro that attempts to test various parts of an application, as defined by the user/developer. And supposedly that if any of the "tests" fail, that it could prevent the building of an executable...?
The company for which I work currently runs their programming department AD-HOC, and I am hoping to change many of the process procedure on how to develop, test and release our software. If would help if what I heard about "automatic testing programs" out there is true. It would significantly help in making sure that we don't accidentally "break" a feature that previously worked.
Thanks for any information...
