Common Sense, is a Super Power!

​This week the Ministry of Testing Bloggers club has decided on “What’s the non-technical skill that every tester should have, but most don’t seem to?” Being a tester move have a very technical mind.

Take a Look, It’s in a Book

Software Development Process

This is the first of many blogs that I will be writing on the Software Development Process. There is a lot to it and several options. Each company will apply a different mythology for there process. It could be agile, spiral, prototyping, or the dreaded waterfall. Over the years though each company starts with one […]

So what is end to end testing? Just like in the maze you are to get from point A of the program to point be. So in the example in the link I am using this week it is from login to logout. The example from Software Testing Help is below: End to End testing […]
