  The fundamental principle of testing ( Testing should be adversarial with the software developer) was presented.
  Testing goals and principles were explained.
The most important were:
1.  Customer requirements are where tests come from;
2.  Tests must be planned before being used;
3.  testing should progress from the small to the large.
  The very important notion of developing for testability was discussed.
  Achieving good testability requires 7x properties: Operability, Observability, Controllability, Decomposability, Simplicity, Stability and Understandability.
