Philosophy for testers

Do you struggle when reviewing requirements? Use Dr. Jackson’s extraordinary Good Thinker’s Tool Kit!

One great thing about software testing is that you can steal ideas from every discipline. So today, we are going to steal from philosophy.

Here is a link to the Tool Kit:

If this link ever dies, you can try searching for Dr. Thomas Jackson, Philosophy for Children, Thinker’s Tool Kit, or W.R.A.I.T.E.C.

Print out that list, and use it as a reference.

In summary, it stands for:

W - what

R - reasons

A - assumptions

I - inferences

T - truth

E - examples

C - counter-examples

For each requirement, take out each tool and break it down like Socrates.
