What is Testing and feedback?

Testing and feedback are like playing a game and getting tips to get better at it.

Imagine you're trying to build the tallest tower with your blocks. Every time you stack a new block on top, you check if it stays up, that’s testing. If it falls down, you notice, that’s feedback. It tells you what went wrong so you can try again.

Testing is like checking if your swing works before you jump on it. You push yourself a little and see if it goes higher, that's your test. If it breaks, the broken swing is your feedback. Now you know to be gentle next time or fix it with more wood.

Feedback doesn’t mean you failed, it means you're learning! It’s like when your teacher says, “Great job, but try to write neater.” That's a tip to help you get even better. You use that tip the next time you write.

So testing is trying something out, and feedback is what tells you how well you did, both are important parts of getting better at anything!
