    Lookin' for Tests in all the Wrong Places

    Greetings, fellow testers. Last week I was asked a question about testing output, specifically if I could help with an example of a test verifying that a list in an application has been properly sorted. This is actually a fairly common question, and is one that we cover in our documentation. I mention it here for two reasons. In part to point out the example code section of Test Studio's online documentation, but mostly because the documented example is correct but in my opinion it’s only half of the story – the second half.
