Thaste IT is a Belgian-based company that develops the software testing methodology called Bona Iqiniso.
Bona Iqiniso is a zulu phrase and means 'Realize the truth'.
This Wiki site helps you to
realize the truth about software testing.
There have been so many methodologies in the last 3 decades, but none of them take software testing as the starting point and yet, software testing is the last frontier before a product is released on a production environment.
Software testing is there to “realise the truth” about the product, to realise if it was built according its specifications (Verification) and to realise it was built as the customer intended (Validation).
The methodology we therefore created is called Bona Iqiniso, which is isiZulu for realise the truth.
The components that describe a methodology are: Phases (life cycle), Methods (practices, processes, activities, tasks), Qualitative techniques (quality characteristics and attributes), Quantitative techniques (metrics), and Paradigms (standards, guidelines, examples)
The reason why we created a methodology is because we know that software testing is part of something bigger, but by limiting the field of knowledge to software testing we can concentrate on making this software testing as efficient and effective as possible.
Bona Iqiniso is a software testing methodology for starters but intends to also deliver a framework and tool. The methodology is the theory behind all the other practical information.
Blogs, or articles, are intended to elaborate on quick cards and provide you more detail on the ‘actions’ to accomplish a ‘quality’ practice successfully.
Podcasts are intended to grow awareness about certain problems (context), provide insight into possible solutions (concept), explain how to execute (implement), and how to check (verify) the problem is solved.
Bona Iqiniso feeds into a framework to implement quality (assurance, control, improvement), but cannot cover all. That’s what coffee breaks are for, to discuss small day-by-day topics.
Over the years, the owner of Thaste IT participated in a number of conferences. We happily share this with you as well.
Hands-on guidelines, or quick cards, are intended to give you the basic information to get started with a ‘quality’ practice.
