Someone said annualy 1 billion dollars is spent on Software Testing. I believe more than half of that goes into fake testing :)!!!
Following are some Software Testing Definitions. Please take a minute to read and enrich your knowledge.
Sandbox testing - Software Testing when we have received the build, but the Dev teams have not yet completed coding some of the functionality
Waterbox testing - Software Testing that happens when test team get the build, but for some features, the design is not yet completed
Gasbox testing - Software Testing when the test team receive a build, but the dev team have not yet started coding.
Casual testing - Software Testing on Fridays when the test team is dressed in casuals. The casual attitude to testing results in what's called as "Casual Defects".
Formal testing - Software Testing that happens on Mondays when the test team is fully dressed in formals. This testing type results in "Formal Defects".
Gamma testing - Software testing that happens after alpha testing and beta testing.
Lateral Testing - Software Testing done by a team member who does not belong to your team, but to a different team.
Serial Testing - Software Testing done by testers in serial. Teams test only 1 functionality at a time.
Parallel Testing - Software Testing done by testers in parallel. All functionalities are tested simultaneously.
And by now, if you have started thinking that the above definitions are true, then what's also true is that YOU ARE A FAKE TESTER LIKE ME!!!
Honestly, a year back, I really did think that stuff as above was true. What I did not realize was as follows.
Definitions... are man-made. They are created for the convenience of the author. As a reader, it would be good if you can spend time trying to understand the concept presented by the writer and the intent of the author. It would be much beneficial for you to understand the concept, rather than try to mug the definition and become a subscriber to definitions.
Fake Tester's Gyan
Stop being a believer of Definitions.
Start being a believer of Concepts.
It's about time, you stop believing definitions and start believing concepts!!!
Good one :)
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree and like the blog post, I have one remark for the ending "start believing concepts".
ReplyDeleteDown the line, also concepts are man-made. And might be true or false like definitions; depending on context.
Reflecting or "understanding" as you write is the important (imho) message here.
