Let's do a Thing and Call it Foo
It feels like the world of testing has gone absurd over words and definitions, and as a testing practitioner building products, what I really care for is results and learning. So let's do a thing of testing, and call it Foo until we have a shared experience.
What Foo looks like is that we'll take computer-assisted software authorship as our developer, write a comment and get to an implementation. As the human pair programmer, we're probably going to be held accountable for results when we pass that forward. Foo is what allows us to be accountable. Not just on the correctness of implementation but our program fitting the domain it is created for.
