"For every problem, no matter how complex, no matter how difficult the situation, there is always a solution that is simple, straightforward, quick, -- and wrong."

TESTING STRATEGIES
 
 
Testing is the process of attempting to find failures in a system. During testing, it is crucial that both the technical and business components of the system are tested.

To Advanced Strategies, testing is not a phase to be done once construction is completed, but rather, testing is composed of verification and validation techniques to be used throughout the development life cycle.
Historically, testing has consumed roughly 50% of the labor required to produce working applications, but systems development professionals have devoted less than 5% of their education time to testing.
By learning strategies for testing intelligently, minimal testing can often be done with near maximal results.
