Do I need to test the automated tests themselves? How do I do that?

In some approaches to web testing there always is doubt about whether the test worked as it was supposed to.

But that isn't the case with eValid.

The way you test an eValid script is by simply running it. What you see in the browser is what the test is doing. In a way, the eVald browser plus the script that plays the test IS the test itself. It is "self validating."

Of course, you have to watch the test to see what happened...sorry, we havn't found a way to have a test system that watches the tests and validates them according to independent ground truth. Maybe next year?
