abstract:Pair testing is a software development technique in which two team members work together at one keyboard to test the software application. One does the testing and the other analyzes or reviews the testing.
So one of the things I want you to notice here is that testing and debugging are not the same thing. When we test, we compare an input output pair to a specification.
Whereas the original prototype had a thin, flimsy shell, the Virta 2's gone downright rugged, ditching the iPhone chrome for a more durable gunmetal frame, and there's a full compliment of sensors (compass, accelerometer, ambient light and proximity) alongside quad-band radios, WiFi, Bluetooth and a pair of cameras for your video chat testing needs.
The volunteers from the team set out at 04:30 GMT in what were described as "very testing driving conditions", with the aim of reaching the pair after dawn.
