Fact
– Testing doesn’t finish, it just stops – we never have the luxuary to test everything
– Testing is a skill, and to perform good testing, one must be committed to develop a good understanding of the product, technology, business and the user behavior/priorities
– Good testing covers both defect detection and prevention
– Testing consists of different activities/deliveries throughout the development cycle, it doesn’t just happen at the very end

Goal
– Software testing is a tool to assess quality, risk, progress of the delivery at different stages throughout the software life cycle
