Testing — life and software
Let's see how we test in life, then software, now AI.
In life — we test our babies' motor skills; our toddlers test the boundaries; our teens test the grey area — neither child nor adult; we adults live with the results.
In software programs —
Begin.
If this, do that, else do otherwise.
End.
A journey, like life. Testing — similarly ordered, natural, for such a long time.
In AI — ordered vs determined. Now, testing comes naturally — on every click; in every instruction; in every headline. Doomsday, newsday or just another day?
So, what now? — As a test professional, I've learnt that balancing probabilities first beats recounting possibilities after.
Systematic testing has a place here. From fighter-jet software to everyday systems, I've spent my career testing in the real world. Now I teach it.
As technology changes, testing principles stand.
Those who test their software just might save a life · enable a livelihood · train their AI assistants to do both.
