[techs] What makes a good test?

This is a resource for consideration in the current test case reviews.
According to Question #7 of TestFAQ [1]:

A good test is:

1.      Mappable to the specification (you must know what portion of the 
specification it tests)
2       Atomic (tests a single feature rather than multiple features)
3       Self-documenting (explains what it is testing and what output it 
expects)
4       Focused on the technology under test rather than on ancillary 
technologies
5       Correct

PS - I did answer the questionnaire for last Thursday's teleconference 
late, having just come
back from vacation..
