Eighth Question

Why did You choose the words you did for the last week question ?
Explain your reasoning.

End of Round Seven

Why?

Creativity & English grammar

My view?

Well.
English grammar first. The sentences must make sense and not only in general, but also be grammatically correct. Which is harder than it looks for non-native speakers.
That is easy to understand and learn.

Creativity about making different statements about testing is more challenging. The pre-made sentences gave rough guidelines, but noting too specific.
The originals are:

· Testing requires inference, not just comparison of output to expected results.
· Intuition is a fine beginning, but a lousy conclusion.
· Black box testing is not ignorance-based testing.
· You're harder to fool, if you know you're a fool.

Explaining the deeper meaning of these will be a left as homework :p
