Effective Software Testing is highly contextual: we adapt what we do to the project and the process.

In this episode of The Evil Tester Show, host Alan Richardson describes context-driven testing. Is there really such a thing as context-driven testing, or is it just a phrase we use to describe our testing approach? Alan explores the intricacies of context in testing, discussing its evolving nature, the impact of context on testing practices, and the challenges in defining it.

From the origins of the term by James Bach, Brian Marick, Brett Petichord, and Cem Kaner, to Alan’s personal insights on systems within systems and how context impacts our testing methodologies, this episode provides a comprehensive look at how context affects software testing. Alan also critiques the principles of context-driven testing and emphasizes the importance of adapting to projects without being swayed by ideologies.

We explore how to navigate context in testing environments, adapt our approaches, and effectively challenge and evolve systems. Discover the importance of context-driven testing in software development, exploring models, adaptability, and useful practices.
