Only when people bring it up. So, if you want to help...

You are confusing testing (evaluating the product by learning about it through experimentation) with what we call checking (evaluating functions in the product by algorithmic observations and decision rules). http://www.satisfice.com/blog/.... Checking can find lots of functional problems in the product, and it's an important thing to do. But that's not the same as testing the product. Knuth made this distinction using different words years ago: "Beware of using this product. I have merely proven it correct; I haven't tested it."

Ah. Another primitive attempt at what some of your fellow Earthlings call "humour". Keep practicing! ---Michael Bolton
