So, I read a thing recently about a Test Pyramid. It was quite long and irrelevant to my situation. I got bored and overwhelmed.
This is not to say that āthatā Test Pyramid was useful to someone in their software testing context, but to me it wasnāt.
But it gave me an idea for my own Test Pyramid.
It also made me wonder what other Test Pyramid things are out there. Here are some Iāve found, Iām sure there are a ton that Iām missingā¦

Iād also love to see more simplistic versions, if anyone is up for creating drawings/diagrams/models to explain testing? (it doesnāt have to be a pyramid)

Hi!
This is triangle, 2d shape, pyramid is 3d object. It consists of four triangles and one square.https://dr282zn36sxxg.cloudfront.net/datastreams/f-d%3Ad362bfa15489cf792e9d8f5b5d9689765a796a6e69b132bf5f760570%2BIMAGE%2BIMAGE.1
Which brings us that we have four more dimensions which could be used to describe testing techniques.!

Haha, will have to go back to the drawing board then!
I like what I saw on twitter, unfortunately I canāt remember who was talking about it, but it was mentioning testing dials where you can ramp them up and down depending on your context.
The pyramid is good as at the very least it gets people talking and thinking about where to test things, but itās too restrictive. I like asking people what are their thoughts on the pyramid though as itās a good discussion starter.
