Over this and the next post you’ll see that not all “simple” test cases are so simple.

But the organization of the data and our inability to ask the right questions prevents us from deeply understanding our software. Why is it so important that we understand our data beyond a few graphs and charts? The reason is that many projects fail altogether and are cancelled.
