Q Are You?

"who are you?" asked the caterpillar to the girl,
     every word, a smoky swirl,
to which the girl replied without malice,
"I know who I am, my name is Alice..."

The purpose of any quality assurance testing is to (a) establish clear and definitive objectives for testing an application or site, (b) test against said objectives, and (c) build a knowledgebase from both the successes and failures encountered.

I referenced the scene from "Alice in Wonderland" with a poem that kept dancing around in my head after I saw that scene. The point wasn't to know who she was, but rather who she thought she was relevant to who she is to become. Using the caterpillar as the symbol for metamorphosis is absolutely brilliant.

Over the next couple of entries, I hope to undergo similar metamorphoses. Testing methods as they are now will continue to improve. The ultimate end of quality assurance as I know it is to take the app/site and present flaws that need to be corrected and/or improved so as to participate in the successful development of a "living" product.
