"That which is known is superior to that which is believed."
This is our motto. It means there is real value to be gained in knowledge. As any good scientist will tell you, knowledge (so far as we can claim it) is derived by testing what we believe against reality, using a reliable method. That is the mission of the tester in any organization committed to producing a quality product.
The tester is not simply an organisational role, or a specific person. The tester is an attitude, a way of looking at the world, a mental habit, and a set of cognitive skills that enable that habit. In other words, anyone can be – and ideally, everyone will be – a tester.
I seek to encourage the attitude and mental habit of the tester in every member of a MOO crew. I hope to facilitate the the pursuit of those skills, and the perfection of those habits, that will make everyone good testers. I invite those who engage in the practice of testing in any crew, to become an ambassador, a champion, and a model for the tester as a mindset and a way of working.
