I think we are talking about different goals. If the goal of the test is for sheer fun &quot;bug hunting&quot;, a more pragmatic approach should indeed be taken. If, as I interpreted it, the &quot;business guy&quot; is going to do some kind of acceptance testing, and you want to be able to perform this test multiple times, you want the tests to be specific and well documented.<p>In other words: OP, start with telling us what you want to achieve with your manual tests!
