Software Testing Standards
summary
Argues that ISO 29119 is being pushed without the profession’s required consensus and that it functions as an anti-competitive standard marketed as “peace of mind”. Uses an auditor’s evidence-based critique, points out how bad audit incentives favor tick‑box compliance, and connects exploratory testing practices to risk-focused auditing. Sparks concrete action: two petitions launched and a special CAST session recorded for YouTube, momentum that shows the objection is sustained rather than isolated.
