Been looking for bugs?

School of Contextdriven testing

Testing is asking questions and seeking answers

If we’re not looking for bugs… then

what?

We’re looking for

information!

For the people who

needs it.

So what are we doing then?

So how do I do it?

Start every day by asking:

What can I do to find the most important information for the

stakeholder that needs it the most today?

Why not test it all?

• Not all requirements are explicit:

• Software should not crash• Software should not drain system of memory• Documentation should be coherent

Explicit and Implicit requirements

But its not ad-hoc

Test strategies

Test cases & Test suites
