comment Best QA techniques
Closing this to new answers as it's essentially unanswerable as it stands - @user2365128 if you can break down the problems you're having into individual questions, you may have more luck.

comment How to write Test Strategy
Hi QA-tester - looks like you got an useful answer from Lemur, but given that quite a few people voted to close your question, I'd suggest that you check out sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/how-to-ask for some tips on how to write a question that will enable people to give useful advice targeted at your specific problem. If you want to improve this question to add more detail on what specific problems you're having with writing your test strategy, then a closed question can always be re-opened if it's improved enough.

Still not clear to me how your answer relates to Sam's question?

comment What is so specific about reentrancy?
Hi Val - this doesn't appear to be on topic for SQA - would you like us to try to migrate this to a more suitable site? Not sure where to suggest at the mo.

comment Modifying multiple Test Cases status
Hi Eugene - this one already has an answer here sqa.stackexchange.com/q/1474/103 , though probably not what you're hoping for (i.e. there isn't a great way of doing it, but there are some good suggestions for easier ways). Long time since I've used QC but I remember that as being one of the big frustrations for me too!

comment What are good resources for mentoring QAs/Testers?
Dan, this would be a better answer IMHO if you didn't start with all the tech references. They're good references, but they have nothing to do with the question (how to mentor people, specifically testers) so I nearly skipped your answer.

comment Running Testing with Non-Technical Team, Little Testing Experience Myself - Where to Start?
Ahh, okay - in that case, I'd suggest that you're not actually after beta testing, but advice on how to run testing using a team with no test experience when you have no/little test experience yourself! Editing the title/question to reflect that might be a good idea. There may be relevant questions on here already, will have to look later though I'm afraid (family waiting to go out!).

comment Running Testing with Non-Technical Team, Little Testing Experience Myself - Where to Start?
Hi Excrubulent - welcome to SQA. It's not clear to me what you're hoping to get out of your testing - are you clear about what information you want to find out? If you're looking to beta test your product to check market fit, then you might want to check out our sister site answers.onstartups.com/questions/tagged/beta - but just a tip, don't repost there if you decide it's a better fit, just ask us to migrate this over there. If you're wanting tips on coaching your non-pro test team on how to find quality related information (e.g. bugs, but also other concerns), here's a good place. :)

comment Should tester fix bugs?
Good answer, though IMO, in situation 2 I'd be pretty worried about QA's ability to test effectively too.

comment Radiobutton group with NO default option: bug / acceptable / it depends?
Seriously, I agree with @user246 - this seems to me to be right in ux.stackexchange.com territory. They don't have a direct analogue of your question, but look at these questions, I think there's useful info there: ux.stackexchange.com/a/13513/2805 ux.stackexchange.com/questions/7763/… ux.stackexchange.com/questions/11293/… ux.stackexchange.com/questions/13413/…

comment How to obtain “fresh mind” results?
@Kamakazy I agree with Phil, I think what you're thinking of as exploratory testing is wildly at odds with how the rest of the community uses that term. You did ask for correction so I'd suggest you start reading here: kaner.com/?p=46 and then take a look at testingeducation.org/BBST . Cem Kaner coined the term 30 years ago, so go to the source! :) Enjoy, there's some great stuff in there.

comment Is QC effective for QA teams that write their own test automation solutions?
From your description though, it doesn't sound like you want to do anything with QC that you couldn't do with JIRA (Greenhopper + Bonfire will manage test cycles). Okay, QC/QTP gives you recotd/playback but that's a very brittle high cost way to automate. I think perhaps the main problem is that it's not very clear what your needs are: could you try to add a bit more detail?

comment Is QC effective for QA teams that write their own test automation solutions?
I'm confused - if you have JIRA, why would you be using QC? Sounds like duplication.

comment Open project vs Project Libre
It had been cross-posted to another site, it's generally considered preferable to post to just one of the stackexchange sites (we try to migrate to a better location if you get the wrong place to start with).

Good suggestion. I'll ask the mods over there if they want to migrate it.

comment Bug Reporting/Tracking Solution for Third Party and In-house Teams
What happens after project delivery, when the project goes into production? Do you envisage needing to keep a record of extant bugs/allow people to raise new ones? Will you have to consider being able to import bugs back into the in-house solution at some point, or will you be able to just ditch (possibly archive) your bug db once the project is done?

Why not call it a Software Quality Analysis team, if there is nobody on the team who is not a Software Quality Analyst?

comment Handling browser level authentication using Selenium
Hi @FelipeButcher - welcome to SQA! As you don't yet have the privs to add comments directly, I've taken the liberty of moving your answer to a comment on the post you were talking about, so that people can see it in the right place.
