Copyright, Engineering The Mind-Set / Weltanschauung Can do – Make it work, somehow Theory-Based; but scientific method, and even method, are a constraint, not the driver Possibly architected first, but quite possibly just iterative experimentation If it works, explain / rationalise it later You have to live with the consequences, so build in controls and safety margins

Copyright, Engineering Research Techniques A Taxonomy (5) Construction of an Artefact Conception (based on a body of theory) Design / Creation / Prototyping / Demonstration / Proof of Concept Metrication of Artefact Usage Destruction of an Artefact Testing Application

Copyright, Types of Testing and of Test Data In Use In a Real-Life Setting In a Laboratory, but by Users In a Laboratory, by Proxies In an eLaboratory, by Simulation

Copyright, Simulation Creation of a model of a real-world system (probably symbolic, possibly iconic) (probably highly selective, and much-simplified) Experimentation with inputs, in order to gain insights into the patterns of behaviour of outputs under various circumstances
