This episode starts down the path of test strategy with the first tests to write in either a legacy system or a project just getting off it&#x27;s feet.<p>We cover:<p>- My approach to testing existing systems. - Put names to strategies so we can refer to them later. - Explain the strategies in general terms and explain why they are useful. - Discuss how these strategies are used in an example project. (The code is available on github).<p>Strategies covered today:<p>- Dog Fooding - Exploratory Testing - Tracer Bullet Tests - Act Like A Customer (ALAC) Tests - Manual Procedures - Initial automated tests at 2 levels, API and UI.
