Unit testing is something that I always want to attain perfection in, but almost never do. Not delving in the challenges/resolution action in the process/ execution in a packaged product implementation scenario, I want to take this article in a different direction – test driven development for Siebel.

Siebel OpenUI has taken the Siebel world by storm. Arguably the single biggest announcement since Siebel 8.0 in Y2007 in this part of the world, the technology looks exciting and is a big boost to extend the aging product.
