[Year 12 SofDev] Evaluation vs testing

[Andrew Shortell]

Testing is done by the makers

Evaluation is done by the users/clients

In a very small enterprise these might be the same

I always talk about the reporting programs we use so that students
understand the scope and size.
Most students are happy to believe that their teacher did not write the
reporting program
