Atomic Talk Title: Ichhadhari Data: The ReVoLT Mnemonic

The usual view of a variable and a value is of very little use when a tester has to think in terms of test design and sampling. A tester typically deals with what I call a Wanderer – data that goes through transformations and wanders through a system and outside it. In the process, the variables can only be imagined, many don’t technically exist and are imaginary. Along with it, the 4 dimensions of data, namely Representation, Value, Length and Type are fluent. This talk is an introductory view of my mental model of this Wanderer.

Talk Takeaways

An unconventional look at variables and data
A Pluralistic way of data in the context of black and white box testing
Some pertinent questions about the established test design techinques
