Ever play the game Jenga? That’s the one where players try to remove one wooden block at a time from a tower constructed of 54 blocks, placing each block they remove higher on the tower, without making the whole thing collapse. The principal of the game is simple: as long as the foundation is solid, you’ll be successful.
The Specification Phase or “Spec Phase” of a test project is kind of like the foundation of a Jenga tower: it’s an essential building block to testing success!
