Testing and feedback loops This post tries to set out one mental model I have for thinking about testing and the purpose testing serves in software engineering, and to explore some of the suggestions of this model. As mentioned in an earlier post, I think a lot about working in long-lived software projects that are undergoing a lot of development and change. The goal when working on these projects is not just to produce a useful artifact at one time, but to maintain and evolve the project over time, optimizing for some combination of the present usefulness of the software, and our ability to continue to evolve and improve it into the future.
