Buzzzz, I'm a QA Buzzword!

I mentioned in a meeting that my new favorite QA buzzword is "exploratory testing". It's a testing strategy that's emerged as a result of the very popular "agile development" process.

I found an article today that gives a very good overview of exploratory testing and how it can be used at software development firms.

Imagine the Swarm in places you'd never thought they'd be!

Oh, No He Didn't!

I've very quickly become a huge fan of The Braidy Tester (aka Michael Hunter). His articles on testing and QA are by far the most interesting and thought-provoking.

The developer/tester relationship is a complicated one. I'd liken it to a male/female relationship--developers go out and do whatever the hell they want (male) and testers try to analyze every part of the developer's actions (female).

Michael posted this article aimed at developers that's a part of his "You Are Not Done Yet" series on software testing and quality assurance. Every developer should read it and understand that doing things like this helps build quality into a product from the very beginning.
