Current Periodic Table of Testing and Archive
Each time a new version is issued I'll try to remember to put it here then the on going development can be seen. I'll also try to ensure each version has release notes for reference. Spot anything not quite right or have any feedback please get in touch. Thanks, Ady.
Version 2.0 - 10th December 2018
Release Notes:
Major formatting tweaks to improve printability.
Inclusive Language and Understandable Content added to Customer under Testing Elements.
(WCAG) added to Accessibility to show the compliance standard that should be aimed for.
New Logo
Release Notes:
New Testing Element section Phases/Types which includes Integration/Release, Regression, Acceptance, AB, Live, System Test and Performance / Scale
Personas moved to Customer sub section.
Integration Acceptance Tests moved to Phases/Types as just Integration.
Socratic Questioning added to Approaches.
Version 1.8
Release notes:
Logo added.
MA Monitoring Analysis changed to PPP Physical PC Performance to distinguish from MN Monitors…etc.
Elements rearranged to put the Must consider 'first' / bottom of the lists.
Version 1.7
Release Notes:
Some minor formatting changes, title width etc. Some minor tweaks to names.
Collaboration sub category changed to Comms. Coaching swapped with Continuous Learning as it felt a better fit.
Data changed to Test Data to avoid clashes with Analytics. Wants and Needs replaced with Testing Fundamentals. I felt this was a more valuable element.
Testability moved to technical elements in sub Tools / Items replacing Soap UI. Integration Acceptance Tests added to Testing elements in Manual.
BDD/TDD changed to 'Practice Driven Development to include other practices such as design or feature driven development etc.
TFS changed to Source Code Control to make it more generic. Waterfall added to Methodologies (thanks to Gordon Crawford via Ministry of Testing Club thread)
Version 1.6
Release Notes: Digital (Technologies) (SMACI) sub category added to Technical Elements. Methodologies added to Technique Elements. AU Element updated to 'Automation for Testing' in my opinion a more open and generalise element name than Automated Testing/Checking. Also added version number (not sure if that will stay), my name and website for reference if it gets shared separately.
Version 1.5
Release Notes: Added spacing to make the table easier to read. Decided to begin noting changes through release notes.
Version 1.4
(Not much point in showing any earlier versions.)
