In the last video we talked about functional and structural testing.

Unfortunately, functional testing has another complementary term – Non-Functional testing.

It doesn't mean 'not testing' or 'not working'!

Are you confused yet?

Watch the video - I hope to explain in simple terms.

My Take on the Terms Manual/Automated and How we Think In the Future

Alan Julien (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-julien-5032674/) sent me a Linkedin message asking me to consider his LinkedIn post (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alan-julien-5032674_the-great-misnomers-in-testing-the-infamous-activity-7295304921388572675-sqjK/) and the many comments that resulted.

Here's my response (my first blog in years, BTW).

What is User Testing?

The latest Testing Glossary video is here: https://youtu.be/i8XeMiWfc2A?si=eTggAI7qtRUsROW9

What is user testing? Is it just the users checking and accepting the system? It can be, but what users test and how they approach the challenge needs some consideration.

So how do users actually approach testing? What are they trying to achieve? How do they satisfy themselves that a system actually works for them?

This video explains...

A long time ago in a place far far away ... I got involved with an initiative to create a software testing standard eventually published as British Standard 7925.

These are some recollections of the years 1993 to 1998. I make no promise to get any of these memories 100% correct. They are mostly impressions, and impressions can be wrong. But I was there and involved at least.
