Testing — life and software

Let's see how we test in life, then software, now AI.

In life — we test our babies' motor skills; our toddlers test the boundaries; our teens test the grey area — neither child nor adult; we adults live with the results.

In software programs — Begin. If this, do that, else do otherwise. End. A journey, like life. Testing — similarly ordered, natural, for such a long time.

In AI — ordered vs determined. Now, testing comes naturally — on every click; in every instruction; in every headline. Doomsday, newsday or just another day?

So, what now? — As a test professional, I've learnt that balancing probabilities first beats recounting possibilities after. Systematic testing has a place here. From fighter-jet software to everyday systems, I've spent my career testing in the real world. Now I teach it. As technology changes, testing principles stand.
