Test It Quickly

Джеймс Бах бабахнул по новому предлагаемому стандарту тестирования ISO 29119. Мол:

The ISO organization claims to have a new standard for software testing. But ISO 29119 is not a standard for testing. It cannot be a standard for testing.

И Сэм Канер (Кем Кэйнер) добавил того же:

If ISO 29119 is adopted and then broadly accepted as a legitimate description of good professional practice in software testing, then context-driven testing will be an example of something you should not do, a way of thinking you should avoid.

Development of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 began аж in May 2007.

ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 parts 1, 2 and 3 became official International Standards in September 2013.

• Dr Stuart Reid — Testing Solutions Group, United Kingdom

К сожалению, на http://www.softwaretestingstandard.org/ есть описание (сюжеты) каждой темы, но там нет текстов, которые можно читать и обсуждать. Там только Table of contents для каждой темы.

Где же взять текст-то? А прямо directly via ISO here – though you should note that to view the standard in its entirety, you will have to pay for a copy. Например, pdf с ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-1:2013 «Software and systems engineering — Software testing — Part 1: Concepts and definitions» стоит $194.
