Alan Richardson, Software Testing consultant at ‘Compendium Developments’

Topic – Absolutes in language and how they apply to Software Testing

Abstract

Testers explore certainty to find its limits. Testers are the people on the project who need to remain flexible in their opinions and beliefs. When I see absolute’ communication from testers: must, never, should, wrong, right. I grow concerned. I think as an industry we need to take care how we communicate. So I’ll point out why, and what we can do about it.

Top Takeaways:

  • Absolutes in thinking limit us
  • Testing explores the limits of certainty
