Michael Bolton on Testing vs. Checking Henrik Emilsson
I just want to promote a really good blog post written by Michael Bolton where he describes the difference between Testing and Checking:

I wish that many managers, testers and developers read this post…
Cheers,

I wish that many managers, testers and developers read this post.
Or you could read it to them. 🙂
Thanks for the kind words, Henrik.

Michael! You are our hero, but you know that don’t ya? =)
The developers in my team read it as well and thought it was an eye opener.
I guess we should start to look closer at what words we and our co-workers use in our daily work around testing. I am sure phrases such as “Test if it works!” comes up every now and then. Would also be interesting to see how checking, verification, validation and testing is used.
