The software I'm working on isn't web based, so I'm not sure if this is relevant.

I'm working to a specification, and each point in the specification must have a test. The tests have to have a specification, too, which I have to write (just a setup, input, expected output type thing). There are around 140 points in the specification.

It doesn't help that I'm new to the particular testing software we're using, so I've had to figure out how to even start writing tests.

Suffice to say, I've been writing tests for weeks and I'm not done 😅
