If it's not there, no matter how careful the driver, he > is still at risk... What a terrible analogy! A computer programmer has many advantages over a driver. He can drive the journey in perfect safety a million times, creating all kinds of artificial hazards for his car to negotiate. Whenever there is a smash and virtual bodies end up strewn over the landscape, he can chuckle to himself that he's glad he's not an analogy while he investigates which particular hazard caused which particular problem. Then the virtual corpses pick themselves up, dust themselves down, and get willingly back into the car for another crack at it. They say the coward dies a thousand deaths, but the test dummy is much braver, and dies a million. Only when they can safely negotiate every hazard he can imagine (and quite a few that his pals Janet and Charlie can imagine because their imaginations are more fevered than his) will he even consider letting the car go into production. Next you'll be saying that assertions are like lifeboats. (And I'm ready for you if you do!) Unit tests, young man! Learn all about unit tests! Then you'll find that you crash a lot more than before, but you will do so in the safety of the lab, where men are fake men, women are fake women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri are /fake/ small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. -- Richard Heathfield "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999 No small, furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were harmed during the writing of this article.
