Mike, you speak with authority on this issue!
I offered that more as an off-the-cuff measure of personal work. I don't have anything that I could offer in a more formal sense. So, as you say, that should be understood as combining debugging and testing.
I haven't read elsewhere other responses to this thread. Mike, I'm sure you have some insight on this -- at least how to conceptualize the issues involved.
