Agile Methodology Vs Housekeeping Methodology

Testing Slang

       Heavy lifting: Difficult and challenging work

       SoLoMo: Social, location and mobile – testing components of many mobile apps

       Burndown: a chart that is a graphical representation of work left to do versus time

       PEBKAC: Problem exists between keyboard and chair

       Fast-track: To speed up a process

       Brown-bagger: A very embarrassing bug found soon after release

       Whack-a-mole: The practice of repeatedly getting rid of a bug, only to have it continually reappear

       Drink the Kool-Aid: Lacking objectivity

       Low hanging fruit: Easy tasks that can be completed in short order

       Staging: A development environment; one level before production

       Automagically: Describes something that occurs in software that is either too complicated to explain, or the person describing the process really has no clue how it works

       Quick and Dirty: A quick and simple solution to an otherwise complicated problem

       Dogfooding: When a company tests its own software internally before releasing to beta

       Showstopper: A bug that makes software unusable
