Software Testing

Let’s get this out of the way as soon as possible: different methodologies have different software testing protocols and frameworks. That doesn’t mean that we can’t talk about software testing as a whole, it just means that we have to be careful to include what are arguably the most important aspects of it and talkContinue reading “Software Testing”

Work smarter, not harder

Quick recap before we begin this: Verification answers the question “are we building the product right?” Validation answers the question “are we building the right product?” End of recap. Now that we know what V&V stands for, we can focus on the tools to aid the V&V process. You see, you can’t just go offContinue reading “Work smarter, not harder”

Two heads are better than one, right?

There’s this common conception that two heads are better than one, which comes from the intuition that people working in groups are more likely to come up with the correct answer or decision faster/more often than if they were working alone. You see, when you get a bunch of people together and ask them toContinue reading “Two heads are better than one, right?”

They might be pretty similar, but they’re definitely not the same thing, and I’ll show you a quick little trick so that you can identify which is which. Always ask yourself these two questions when developing a project:Continue reading “Verification and validation are not the same thing”

Models and Standards for Software Process Improvement

I’ll try to keep it short, but I can’t promise you anything. In fact, it’s probably gonna be a rather long one. So uh, whatContinue reading “Models and Standards for Software Process Improvement”

Is there such a thing as objectively good code?

Software never was perfect, and it never will be, get used to it. “But why?” you may ask. Well, if we knew why, we’d probably be working on making it perfect, but that’s the thing: we don’t know what the hell we’re talking about when we refer to “Software Quality”. That’s right, today we’ll beContinue reading “Is there such a thing as objectively good code?”
