Steps

General

When looking at an Engineering Task, you should consider how to add the capability to the system. Does the system require new classes? Are there classes that would be useful? Regardless of how these decisions come out, the addition of functionality requires the creation of a test case. You write the test case to demonstrate that a portion of the functionality you need isn't in the system. This test case should fail.
