I need to try and think of all the good ways I have solved a problem and apply them to this problem, but not assuming that it is the best solution possible. <br /><br />And a self promoting one which I always tell myself is<br /><br />"always think of the Purpose, Audience and Context"<br /><br />It makes me sit back and think about what I'm doing, what I'm going to respond with and what I really am being presented with. It stops me rushing in without fully understanding the situation.<br /><br />Rob..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948141587422980338.post-75434856451709103742009-10-12T14:46:17.408+02:002009-10-12T14:46:17.408+02:00Personal Motto

Then I move on to other test techniques based on what interests the stakeholders the most. 100% coverage is a big No.<br /><br />Parimala Shankaraiah<br />http://curioustester.blogspot.comParimala Hariprasadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304352526906191995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948141587422980338.post-42513222790445090772009-10-12T13:17:49.707+02:002009-10-12T13:17:49.707+02:00Hi Anne-Marie,

Lots of potential usage...<br /><br />No problem with the plug I'll ask for payback on the favour later ;-)Simon Morleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10629592766073538811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948141587422980338.post-14252043774305016652009-10-12T12:44:16.914+02:002009-10-12T12:44:16.914+02:00Hi Simon, your twitter exercise is something I als...Hi Simon, your twitter exercise is something I also suggest for writing bug headers - its one of the recent twitter tips on @dailytestingtip<br /><br />(yes I know complete and utter obvious plug!)<br /><br />Anne-MarieAnne-Mariehttp://mavericktester.comnoreply@blogger.com
