Had a quick chat with Aslak about this thread and it seems we are using different terminologies :)

So to be clear, for me ARQ is about *automated* testing and what I call "real" testing Aslak suggested I call "Manual Verification" to avoid the confusion/overlap with the generic word "test" :)

Hope that clears things up a bit.
