Thank you very much for the tips. As a beginner and self-taught tester I recognize that my knowledge is still very raw and needs great development. This is actually the main reason that I joined the test republic and right now am reading and enjoying the discussions that are posted there, trying to give my humble collaboration.

Your blog is new to me, but I’ve already spotted some posts that really interested me. I only hope that I can catch up with all the precious information that is available.

BTW, according to the self-exam that you passed I can say that I am already using ET, that made me very glad.

Thanks again

I especially like your last two bullet points...<br/><br/> * the tester is focused on revealing new information, rather than confirming existing knowledge about the product;<br/> * in general, the tester is varying aspects of her tests rather than repeating them, except where the repeating aspects of the test are intended to support the discovery of new information.<br/><br/>Not a distinction I had specifically considered as of yet, but a really good point. Since you specifically say you wrote this here so you would not have to repeat it on forums all around, I am now going to promptly go and reference it in a few of my favorite forums!! ;)<br/><br/>David Gilbert Michael — Excellant post, as always.

Not a distinction I had specifically considered as of yet, but a really good point. Since you specifically say you wrote this here so you would not have to repeat it on forums all around, I am now going to promptly go and reference it in a few of my favorite forums!! ;)

Posts like these are the guides that all testers, test managers and developers should be consulting when talking about approaches and the pros and cons to them. <br/><br/>Thanks.
