Testing theory focuses on contextual equivalences that were proposed in the 80s as an alternative to bisimulation equivalence. During the last decade testing equivalences proved useful in constructing semantic models of session types and in laying the foundations of web-service technologies. As result, testing theory is more useful and richer than ever. In this seminar I will recall the chief ideas behind testing theory, and argue that we lack a general methodology to reason on testing equivalences. I will also outline the evidence that a meta-theory may exist, and some open questions.
