What Will It Take To Fully Test Your Software?
In my last blog I asked, “What is the definition of fully tested software” and further defined that “Fully tested software is code that has been validated and tested to such an extent that all concerned parties have ‘high confidence’ that the code will perform exactly as intended once released to production”.
My statement has provoked a deeper conversation on what it means to fully test your software. Some were frustrated with my definition because they felt it wasn’t definitive enough, some think the idea of fully tested software is ridiculously unattainable, some agreed with the general tenor of the definition and are themselves trying to achieve 100% code test coverage, while others are seeking more opinions as to what fully tested software means. To all of you I say, bravo and thank you for your honest responses; my definition bares much scrutiny because it is relative and subject to one’s own standard of perfection.
