4Make your testing smarter – know your context! - EuroSTAR 2008, 12/11/2008
Seven Basic Principles
1. The value of any practice depends on its context.
2. There are good practices in context, but there are no best practices.
3. People, working together, are the most important part of any
project's context.
4. Projects unfold over time in ways that are often not predictable.
5. The product is a solution. If the problem isn't solved, the product
doesn't work.
6. Good software testing is a challenging intellectual process.
7. Only through judgment and skill, exercised cooperatively
throughout the entire project, are we able to do the right things at
the right times to effectively test our products
