Testing is Rocket Science Not Brain Surgery

If testing is so easy then why do we humans seem to fail at it in alarming rates? It probably has a lot to do with one’s initial viewpoint about it as an activity associated with software development, versus it being an activity with its own path. Maybe we need to coin the phrase “Software Testing Life Cycle.” This bizarro world I inhabit makes development a product of testing, where we test, develop, and iterate versus the traditional “code-fix” conundrum. How we do this is a matter of debate as testing moves into the developer unit testing world and lives as a parallel activity beginning with requirements as the first object to be tested.
