Testing Tasks and Blooms Taxonomy
The document discusses Bloom's Taxonomy in the context of testing tasks, highlighting cognitive levels such as remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. It emphasizes the importance of these skills in various testing methodologies, including sequential, iterative, and agile approaches. The text contemplates how different methodologies impact testers' learning and opportunities for informed creation throughout the testing process.

- 4. The Taxonomy Remembering: Retrieving,recognizing, and recalling relevant knowledge from long-term memory. Understanding: Constructing meaning from oral, written, and graphic messages through interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, and explaining. Applying: Carrying out or using a procedure through executing, or implementing. Analyzing: Breaking material into constituent parts, determining how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose through differentiating, organizing, and attributing. Evaluating: Making judgments based on criteria and standards through checking and critiquing. Creating: Putting elements together to form a |coherent or functional whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning, or producing.
