One such initiative involves developing a toolset for assessing a customer’s situation. This toolset (working title: Truffleswine) allows us to retrieve relevant data from systems quickly, which in turn helps us ask the right questions sooner and clarify business cases for improvement using actual data.

I think of defects as coming from four sources: programmer errors, design errors, requirements errors, and systemic errors. James Shore, Alternatives to Acceptance Testing. During the software development process, the goal of eliminating defects while you’re writing code is less costly rather than fix bugs later on.

TDD is an Agile Development technique in which developers write test cases before writing the corresponding code for the user story assigned to him. Once the code passes the Acceptance test, the code is then refactored /simplified to be used as production code. How TDD is different than others?

It reduces the cost of testing and supports keeping long-term, high-development velocities. Test automation is not a project or a one-off—it is part of the development lifecycle and should be seen as its own system that needs to evolve over time as the requirements and system under test change and mature.

Natural languages, on the other hand, are infinitely more expressive than programming languages, query languages, or even a UI that users interact with.

Clearly, the best way to test any software is with fully automated ‘system’ testing that is thorough enough that it can be used for full regression testing. In its fullest form, it is at least as much code as the thing it is going to test, and you have to build a custom version of it, every time, for every system.
