All jargons, no real useful examples nor any practical knowledge. Just promoting or marketing their paid course. Nothing new to learn.

I was pretty disappointed in the content of the lecture itself. Context is critical to all aspects of life. Context is NOT the only thing that is critical to understanding software testing. This was an oversimplification of testing methodology used and really doesn't give users the details they need to be successful.

I do however think the presenter and presentation of the course was done very well.
