Having just about completed my upgrade I am constantly surprised how people throw this word out at any chance they can get.
I am starting to feel that this is becoming testing’s non-word. In a world of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) we should be able to evolve to a new evolution of testing that proves that we are saving money and not creating these huge interdependent beasts that when a small change is made need to do a complete regression test.
So all you testing leaders and Business Analysts. Could you please start by saying:
- We need to test this change! – OK I am fine with this
- How do we do that properly, what sort of testing is required? – I am excited to hear that
I am going to do some research on testing techniques in the SOA world, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
PS – thanks for letting me rant.
