"A shutdown means the president is weak."
-- DJT, 2013
photo of Donald Trump with his mouth flapping and his hands held palms forward. "A shutdown falls on the president's lack of leadership. I mean problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. A shutdown means the president is weak." Donald J. Trump 2013

I tend to think of those sorts of layers like shingles rather than onions. Different tests examine different aspects, and it takes the totality to "keep the bugs out."

Within the test automation implementation I find that there are also layers.

Photo montage of Trump and Epstein followed by a quote, "I don't know if I can think of a WORSE defence against being called a pedophile than to say you stopped being friends with another pedophile because he STOLE a teenager from you!"

I agree with BJ.
"If your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. If your only tool is a gun, every resentment turns into a murder." -- BJ Gallagher www.bjgallagher.com A picture of a handgun lying partially on a short block of wood with one nail driven slightly into the wood. There are also three small piles of nails of different sizes next to it.

Reagan borrowed that term from Will Rogers, who knew the score in 1932.
‘This election was lost four and five and six years ago not this year. They dident start thinking of the old common fellow till just as they started out on the election tour. The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickled down. Put it uphill and let it go and it will reach the dryest little spot. But he dident know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands. They saved the big banks but the little ones went up the flue.

When you undermine your own foundation...
"Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trumps ex-wife Ivana wasn't an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Jr in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, & Eric in 1984. -- Let's cancel their birthright citizenship first. -- Andrea Junker"

Eisenhower is still right, today.
PRES. EISENHOWER SCHOOLS TRUMP: When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, this was then-President Eisenhower's response: "Absolutely not. We are the preeminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak." (paraphrased by Presidential historian, Michael Beschloss)

The similarities between the Trump administration and both the Chinese government and the Soviet Union are inescapable.
