This is a short testimonial from one of our clients. We really appreciate feedback (good and bad…errr constructive) so we can keep the product running in the right direction. ______________ I wanted to thank you all for the part you played in getting our system upgraded.

All software has it: evolutionary programming in code blocks that are eventually deprecated, features and processes that the market no longer wants, and those few complexities that even a hydraulically-adjustable pavement roller cannot iron out.

Feel free to argue with me, but for the return on invested time, money, & resources, Automated User Interface Testing (AUIT; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUI_software_testing) is a far more accurate measure of how software will perform in the field especially when developing a web application.
