@rui725 replace how you think it works part with what it should do from the spec. Compare that with what it actually does. Write a bug report on the difference

@windlessuser starting out qa and interview question like this screws me up..

@rui725 look up Behavior Driven Development. It's unit testing but uses the language of the Specification for the tests. Even a business person should be able to read the test suite and know the system meets the spec

@windlessuser isn’t that more of a dev thing rather than qa just like devs do tdd when developing software?

@rui725 yeah, this is mainly a dev thing. QA should be more focused on finding edge cases. Spots where the spec itself fails
