Email Testing in Development
Testing software that requires unique email addresses is a pain. Automated testing tools can lessen the burden by using counters or random strings to create unique email addresses, but that stops at localized testing – those email addresses can’t actually receive mail. A common method often used to resolve this is a “catch-all” email alias that accepts any email sent to it and forwards it to a specfic address. While this method can work well for the solo developer, it’s inadequate in a team environment where each member needs to see the message.
