Novel views of mature ideas on software and quality productivity are presented. The author investigates the nature of object oriented development and what it says about the nature of testing techniques. Specifically, he explores an approach to assertion placement based on error masking. As expected, he found that information hiding and encapsulation can be detrimental to system level and integration testing, but not always
