Wherein Bianca gets into the spirit of things, despite herself

"Oh that's stupid!" Bianca complained. "Kids aren't going to be going around making drawings read-only!"

"Remember the ground rules!" Hazim interjected. "We aren't judging right now."

"Yeah yeah yeah" Bianca grumbled. She still didn't seem happy about the read-only test case, but she didn't keep up her fight.

"Saving may be automatic", Lucas said, "but we still need to save to a variety of locations: hard drive, floppy drive, removable media like a Zip drive."

"USB drive", Bianca continued, "CD-ROM (which I guess would be read-only, my apologies oh mighty testers)."

"CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-RW, network share." Bianca and Lucas finished together in rather a sing-song voice. Clearly they knew this list well.

"I guess developers really can learn testing checklists!" Daphne smirked to Jason.

"Um, if saving is automatic, how do we save to all those different locations?" Oliver queried.

"That is something for our fearless leader Hazim The Not Quite Handsome to determine!" Bianca replied jokingly.

"Printing is going to be simply loads of fun" Lucas said sarcastically. "Windoze may provide standard printer APIs but printers sure don't react to them in standard ways!"

Lucas added "Print to loads of different printers" to the list of brainstormed test cases. "I don't remember whether we need to deal with all those printer options" he said, "or whether the printer drivers lay them on top of whatever data we feed them."

"Probably we want to hide those anyway" Oliver said. "They aren't exactly kid-friendly."

"They aren't exactly adult-friendly either!" exclaimed Daphne. "I never can find that blasted staple option."

"So what's left?" asked Bianca. "Oh yeah, coloring in the drawing."

"We said we would have a preset selection of colors, right?" asked Jason. "So we should make sure we can actually select each of those colors."

"Not just select each of them, but switch from every color to every other color" added Daphne. "That's a straightforward cross-product matrix."

"The tools all seem very similar" Bianca said. "We will want to try using each of them in the four corners of the page, in the middle of the page, and off the page."

"Very nice equivalence classing, Bianca!" Daphne said.
