> Factory school: emphasis on reduction of testing tasks to routines that can be automated or delegated to cheap labor.
> Control school: emphasis on standards and processes that enforce or rely heavily on standards.
> Test-driven school: emphasis on code-focused testing by programmers.
> Analytical school: emphasis on analytical methods for assessing the quality of the software, including improvement of testability by improved precision of specifications and many types of modeling.
> Context-drive school: emphasis on adapting to the circumstances under which the product is developed and used.
> The four-schools (I prefer five-schools) approach provides one useful structure. (“All models are wrong; some models are useful.” — George Box)
