I liked how you identify the different tour...Ajay,<br /><br />I liked how you identify the different tours in a Mindmap with a brief strategy for each. I believe this provides the tester with some structure while allowing him to explore. I know you were using this to learn the product, but I can see where this is applicable for functional and regression testing. The Mindmap provides a visual to keep focused without having to read through a lengthy test plan. Testers often experience mental traps that can reduce their ability to think of new testing ideas. For example, we find ourselves testing a feature the same way every time. By using your Mindmap and the article "Taking a Tour Through Test Country" provides different ways of approaching the testing problem.

It was my natural reaction once the product was in for testing after the build. I do not jump directly with one hand on the product and other on Bug reporting system. I give time to understand what actually i am using the product for and have i ever used a similar product before. If yes , what issues i faced , what were the most critical components that i used , where did i find utility breaks. After such questions , i try to figure out a path to test the product at hand. I would like to extend my grtitude towards Ajay , fo defining what was actually Sympathetic testing .jasmeetsinghbhatiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121614154215452318noreply@blogger.com
