Abstract

In this chapter we introduce the concept of Thinking-Driven Testing (TDT). After presenting its main principles in a form of the TDT Manifesto, we discuss the universal rules and some good practices, aligned with the TDT approach, such as critical thinking and system thinking. We also show how the TDT rules imply on popular and ‘hot’ topics, such as test automation, test process measurement or requirements engineering.
