AEIOU - The Vowel Model of Thinking for Pluralistic Testing

AEIOU - The Vowel Model of Thinking for Pluralistic Testing

In continuation to my previous post in the series, which happened to be a fairly complex "undefinition" of a test, I will start the simplification and concept break down from this post.

Here's a model that I developed many years back, although I never presented or wrote about it as a separate topic. During the course of writing this series, I've revised the model several times to accommodate new ideas.

The above diagram is an elaboration of what happens at the core of My Quality Cage in the Infinity model of Imperfect Quality that had written about earlier .

I'm including that model here as well for your reference to connect some of the dots till I write my version of those dots:

The AEIOU model is a critical base for my future writings as I get into technical details of various techniques and types of testing.

That's all for now. I'll continue elaborating it in future posts.

Without endorsing or even commenting on your content, please accept my admiration that you are thinking for yourself, instead of riding the infinite conveyor belt of recycled pronouncements of tired cliches of testing. You know, this is what I thought it was going to be, when I got into testing (36 years ago this week). I thought everyone would have their own system and argue about it in public. Instead, it seems like there are only 500 people in the entire testing business who do their own thing, and only about 25 of them, including you, post publicly about it. Everyone else is copying and pasting their opinions. I am probably wrong on these numbers, but that’s how it feels.
