Reviewable evidence
Artefacts rather than statements that testing occurred.
Evidence, not assurances
Quality and Assurance
Functional, integration, acceptance, security and performance testing that produces artefacts you can review.
Assurance is only meaningful if it produces evidence. Every activity here generates something reviewable: test results, an accessibility report, a defect log, a security review record.
