SDET with 5 years of experience in software testing & BS in Computer Science. I'm also not very good at filling out "About Me" sections. I'm not as much of an expert as I'd like to be, so am trying to soak up knowledge as fast as I can while balancing work and "real life".

Should a test method test only one condition? Good point about unit tests pointing to broken code more quickly if they just check one thing. |

Is it easier to write “correct” software in functional languages? This is probably a better question for programmers.se |

Workflow shortcut to meet the release deadline We use a Q&A section on our functional specs on our team wiki to help spec out gray areas. As the whole team gathers information, they update the Q&A section of the wiki so we have the information in one place. |

Writing automated tests for System.Web.HttpApplication I'm not talking about Selenium or UI testing. "Record and Playback" with mocks means queuing values to return (recording), and then when your test calls those methods, they get returned (playback). Rhino Mocks is an example of this. See ayende.com/wiki/Rhino+Mocks+Introduction.ashx for examples of this style of mocking. Incidentally, while writing this comment I learned that Rhino Mocks has moved beyond Record and Playback to Arrange, Act, and Assert: blog.benhall.me.uk/2008/05/… |

Should automated tests be efficient? There was a joke on my old team that tests that don't do anything have the best performance. There was also a joke that when all the tests passed, there was something wrong with the test system. |

Is a distinction between “testing” and “checking” useful? Thanks, this is a great response. I like your point about guessing. |

How can I select a file to put into a file_field without using the absolute path with Watir / Ruby? I like it here, too. There is some overlap between SE sites. I just wasn't seeing many answers at that time :) |

What proficiency should a software tester have in SQL? +1 for mentioning creating test data, and also for mentioning that it's not a core skill (at least for most testers). |

Does anyone have a good list of steps for reducing a bug? Not trying to win, just explain what I'm looking for :) I know it's a weird idea, but these truly difficult-to-repro bugs that matter are so rare yet often so serious when they do occur that I can't afford to wait until I encounter all the possible issues and learn this stuff through personal experience. BTW, I really appreciate your answer and comments; I think I learned as much from this discussion as I did from the answers to the original question. |

When is it inappropriate to use white box testing? Nice blog post :) Thanks for the comment, it's a good point! |
