<summary>
Let’s suppose you had written this test case for low-level 
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Data_Exchange">DDE</a> communication in your product, and that this test talks to <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/160957">Internet Explorer via DDE</a>.
</summary>

Let’s assume you’d do this by sending a URL to IE via DDE, and that you’d then verify the result by asking IE which page it actually loaded.

Let’s say that you’d use the URL of your company’s website, http://www.cocreate.com.

The day your QA people start yelling at you because the test fails miserably, you know
that your company has been acquired, and that all accesses to http://www.cocreate.com have been automatically redirected to http://www.ptc.com ;-)
