Hi BJ,
great point indeed. Don’t you think that the best practice would actually to register for an event and make sure (testability | code hooks) that the event is raised whenever the system is in the state we are waiting for.

Great point! This is one of the many significant items I picked up in the Software Test Automation course and I constantly find examples of this in test automation and even in production code. While it may not be entirely avoidable, it should be discouraged if possible. Don’t be a lazy tester!

All the best for your transition from academia to product career and congratulations!

In real-time it is very rare for customers to enter such characters into twitter, what are your thoughts on that? Nevertheless you really know how to break the system, good find!

[Bj's Reply] Hi Aruna, thank you. It is great to hear from you again.

Regarding the probability of customers using these characters into twitter or other social messaging is going to increase in the near future. For example, emoji/emoticons (http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F600.pdf) are quite popular in text messages and Unicode 6.1 spec has defined a lot of new emoji/emoticon characters that are actually surrogate pair code points (see http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F300.pdf) and many devices are starting to incorporate surrogate pair code points into their font sets.

Also, many of these surrogates are Chinese characters, and the Chinese market is expanding at a pretty wild pace.
