Testing Is (Still) Not Dead
summary
Claims that testing is dead are rebutted with a concrete definition: testing is evaluating a product by learning through experiencing, exploring and experimenting, contrasted with checking as applying algorithmic decision rules to observations. The argument cites that automation should produce automated checks for repeating inputs and load simulation while humans perform exploration, investigation and judgment, and that unknown risks and subtle bugs remain discoverable only through human-centered testing.
