"There is nothing worse than a broken 404 page, because when it can’t 
load, it will direct to the 404 page… which is broken! You get a never 
ending loop of broken pages until the server crashes. Then your site is 
down for a while"

Hmm.

 From the title + summary, I was hoping it would have useful advice on 
improving the coverage of your web tests, or doing web testing well 
without spending thousands of dollars on testrunner etc.

Instead, it doesnt really seem to say anything. And that bit about 
redirects crashing the webserver? I think the author needs to go and 
learn a bit more about the basics of HTTP and webservers :(.
