Re: Another newbie question

/ http://www.softwareqatest.com/ http://www.testing.com/ http://www.faqs.org/faqs/software-eng/testing-faq/ and feel free to come back and ask for more once you've exhausted the wealth of pointers, articles, books and surveys these URLs will direct you to. As far as I know, the only outstanding figure in the history of programming who decisively condemned testing because "it can only show the presence of bugs, never their absence" was Djikstra; it's funny that he failed to notice the parallel with Popper's epistemology -- by the same thought-structure, we should condemn scientific experiments, because, per Popper, they can only show the falsity of a scientific theory, never its truth. I never said nor implied that a tool's imperfections must prohibit its use: I was just pointing out that your assertion about important conditions which *can't be expressed* is simply false (as well as totally inapplicable to the specific examples being discussed).
