+# Overview
+
+The Testing Working Group aims to leverage valuable industry software testing
+practices and methodologies, bridging the gap between research and industry
+standards. The group seeks to tackle the distinct challenges of research
+software testing by harnessing AI technologies. Some key focus areas include
+testing legacy code, ensuring comprehensive code coverage, and enhancing
+overall verification and validation processes. This collaborative effort
+will bring together RSEs, researchers, and practitioners to discuss current
+limitations, share knowledge, and collectively address cutting-edge challenges,
+thereby advancing the reliability and quality of research software.

-and the understanding and recognition of RSE as a professional designation. To
-reach this goal, we plan to expand the US-RSE presence at conferences and
-workshops, engage with students earlier in their educational careers, and
-provide tools and resources that individual US-RSE members can easily use to
-spread the message and mission of the US-RSE Association. We welcome all who
