Reality is so harsh I have stopped thinking of using fancy ideas as an aid to my testing prowess. And anyway a fig is a fig. So I would prefer honest heads down testing to Edward deBono testing.http://blog.sureshnageswaran.com/2008/05/10/testing-test-engineering-quality-assurance.aspx#comment-1062965Thu, 22 May 2008 04:54:31 GMThttp://blog.sureshnageswaran.com/2008/05/10/testing-test-engineering-quality-assurance.aspx#comment-1037839Shrini KSuresh how about this ...<br /><br />I am a software Tester (not mere Engineer) - I am systems thinker, a social scientist (testing involves great bit of study on social behaviours).<br /><br />Have you read Gerald Weignberg's "Introduction to General Systems thinking" .... A must book for testers.<br /><br />Thinking of testing as mere engineering - to me appears as "over simplification" - There is more to it to - I sure you understand.<br /><br />Can you go and share how do you explain a 6 year old kid about software testing? In layman's terms?<br /><br />That would be an interesting sequel to this blog post..<br /><br />Shrinihttp://blog.sureshnageswaran.com/2008/05/10/testing-test-engineering-quality-assurance.aspx#comment-1037839Mon, 12 May 2008 14:27:11 GMThttp://blog.sureshnageswaran.com/2008/05/10/testing-test-engineering-quality-assurance.aspx#comment-1037838Shrini KulkarniSuresh,<br /><br />A discussion on Test process maturity models at Test Republic - would be an interesting stuff to read for you.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.testrepublic.com/forum">http://www.testrepublic.com/forum</a><br /><br />(this might require a simple registeration.
