the-future-of-testing-informationInformation

What information do you use to help you test your software? Specs? User manuals? Prior (or competing) versions? Source code? Protocol analyzers? Process monitors? Does the information help? Is it straightforward to use?

Information is at the core of everything we do as software testers. The better our information about what the software is supposed to be doing and how it is doing it, the better our testing can actually be. I find it unacceptable that testers get so little information and none of it is specifically designed to make it easier to do our jobs.

(1st) Insourcing Provide tools
(2nd) Outsourcing Provide testing (which subsumes the tools)

The next logical step in the evolution of testing is for vendors to provide testers and this is exactly the era we’ve entered with crowdsourcing.
