Hello, Tribals, We are here with something new and exciting yet again. #TTTribeCast it is. Our very own Webinar Series. This time with a webinar by Michael Bolton. What is TTTribeCast? Testing Community is amazing. The reach and diversity it has been even more amazing. And that’s why we think that the physical reach of The Test Tribe Community should not become the barrier between Knowledge Givers and Seekers. TTTribeCast is the Webinar Series by The Test Tribe where any Tester from the World can take up the virtual stage and share his/her knowledge with our Tribe. The format is Simple. The speaker goes live, shares his/her knowledge on the decided topic followed by a quick Q&A through comments on Live Video. What’s in Store this time? Webinar by Michael Bolton on "The Logic of Verification" Software testing is sometimes described as “verification and validation”—according to Wikipedia “the process of checking that a software system meets specifications and that it fulfills its intended purpose”. Yet, if we examine the concept and logic of verification, we quickly recognize that there are serious limitations to what can and cannot be checked and verified. This is not to say that checking is a bad thing—on the contrary; checking can be very valuable. Still, it’s important for testers and their clients to recognize the fundamental limitations of checking, and to address those limitations in our testing strategies. Join Michael Bolton as he outlines the logic of verification, ways in which we might be vulnerable to false premises and misleading conclusions about it, and how we can address those problems by embedding verification in a larger system of testing, experimentation, and critical thinking.
