One of the things I keep hearing here, over and over, is that "new" people on this platform shouldn't complain about things they find confusing or that don't meet their needs.
That's exactly wrong. New users, who've not yet adapted themselves to possibly unworkable or inscrutable interfaces and limitations, are often in a unique position to have insights that old hands can no longer see.
Perhaps you're tired of hearing the same complaints over and over. But think about why people make them.
@cvennevik Integration need definition I think. There's the connectivity aspect, the transfer of data, transfer of control, consistent use of data - maybe extend to usability if we look at systems+people. Big subject.
@cvennevik Integration is a misunderstood term for sure. It starts with the second line of code that must integrate with the first. Ends when? I view acceptance testing as testing integration between system(s) and business processes. So it's all pervasive. Martins description is developer focused I think.
I'm working my way through testing terms trying to provide explanations rather than definitions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFayGwn9AV8&list=PLd0u8I-wgEwPDjVkYbmzad-hOnxq_GnY4
Perhaps I should tackle Integration Testing next?

I don’t understand why people think Mastodon is difficult. It seems pretty straightforward, and the separate servers are no biggie. I’m enjoying this fresh start here, like moving to a new apartment!
@alex_schl @kristoffer_nordstrom im trying out https://moa.party which is another x-poster etc
@alex_schl i think you just need to reply to someone and its on their timeline. My guess is it stored on your own service
@secretgeek I read it for the first time in the late 1980s.
What did you get from it? Still useful, relevant?
Do you think that the definitions we use in the testing business are confusing, a mess, even? https://youtu.be/oFayGwn9AV8

First definitions/explanations (had to be) test (noun) and test (verb). What is a test? https://youtu.be/q0zaEGbs-cE
