    \framesubtitle{Where Were We?}
    \begin{itemize}
        \item We wanted to generate test cases in \textbf{Drasil}, our software
              artifact generation framework
              \begin{itemize}
                  \item Started writing test cases manually
                  \item\pause We stopped to understand software testing to follow existing standards
                        %   \begin{itemize}
                        %       \item Understand the problem domain
                        %       \item Make use of all areas of the domain
                        %       \item Follow domain standards, including quality and terminology
                        %   \end{itemize}
              \end{itemize}

        \item What happened?
              \begin{itemize}
                  \item The domain of software testing is \emph{much} larger than we expected
                  \item Software testing terminology and standards are \emph{not} standardized
