I’ve had an article published by the Association for Software Testing…
Observation, Inference, Oracle – Check it out here.
Thanks goes to Matt Heusser for his review many months ago. :0)
Disclaimer – I wrote it earlier this year and the oracle heuristics have since been updated… as of just this week they are now FEW HICCUPPS:
– familiarity
– explainability
– world (that means: consistency between the state of the world, and any data or program state that represents the world)
– history
– image
– comparable products
– claims
– user expectations
– product
– purpose
– statutes
Thank you to James Bach for letting me know ASAP.
I must also correct my credit of the F which is actually with James, Cem Kaner for the S, and RST students for the E & W. My sincere apologies to those wonderful people.
It seems like a fun game to play that can also aid in ones learning of observations, inferences and oracles. I think just by reading it I can piece together how to do it on my own. Good article!
