Discussion:

“The principle of automated testing is that there is a program (which
could be a job stream) that runs the program being tested, feeding it
the proper input, and checking the output against the output that was
expected. Once the test suite is written, no human intervention is
needed, either to run the program or to look to see if it worked; the
test suite does all that, and somehow indicates (say, by a :TELL
message and a results file) whether the program’s output was as
expected.”
