Abstract

This chapter provides a descriptive introduction to the philosophy of Macro Test which is the concept at the very heart of this book. A clear understanding of what Macro Test is and the problems that it can solve allows the benefits of using this methodology to be fully appreciated. It is shown that Macro Test concepts need to be integrated into a design system. Some important integration issues, such as clearly described responsibilities, activities, and interfaces are discussed.
