What is a good training to signup for to get training for my SQA department? There are similar events. I haven't done much research into events in Europe but I remember seeing this: ministryoftesting.com/training-events |

Do ISTQB/ISEB Testing Certificates prove someone can test? What do you mean by langauge? English, Hindi, etc? The words you use have different meaning under different context. People need to be intelligent enough to ask for clarification, e.g. what do you mean by a "test plan"? Building a common vocabulary can be very helpful but that needs to be done within the context of the team / group / etc. Regardless if your company is full of "certified" testers or not, you'll need to understand the context of the words before it will help. |

Do ISTQB/ISEB Testing Certificates prove someone can test? Are you saying you could have gotten the same knowledge by downloading the free Syallabus and then buying and reading the books in it? |

Do ISTQB/ISEB Testing Certificates prove someone can test? So you are saying the benefit of getting a certification is to be able to understand other certified people? That doesn't seem very convincing. Wouldn't it just be easier to discuss things as a team? The second part of your statement doesn't make any sense. |

In house built testing tools Bruce, did you end up moving the website where your tools were opensourced? Looks like the link is no longer available. |

Setup MantisBT to accept RFP Do you know how or why that specific company used JIRA? You might want to figure out if it was a good idea or not before trying it yourself. |

Fail over testing Terminology To reinfoce what Kate said my CEO used to refer to this as High Availability testing even though the fail-over was just one specific aspect of insuring high availability. The context depends on what's appropriate for the team. |

Is my pay fair, just based on the fact I have little experience If you are new to the testing field talking with a recruiter is a different experience but one you should definitely get some experience in. Finding a good recruiter is hard and requires simple trial and error. When dealing with a recruiter, understand their job and pay are dependent on placing you at a company. Some are pushy, some are understanding, some will only have a single company to place you at while others will be more patient about finding something good for you. Their understanding of pay scales will depend on the type of clients they have. |

What types of testing are LEAST suited to using pairwise testing (and similar test design approaches)? At least one of the papers @user246 is referring to is called "A Comprehensive Framework for testing graphical user Interfaces" found here: cs.virginia.edu/~soffa/research/dissertations/atif.thesis.pdf |

Updates to scripts in test lab Can you add some context to this question? Is test lab a generic term or a specific product that you are referring to? |

Is a Final Release Report a good way to communicate results? It's true I have two roles. Yet I want to separate the build information or "build report" (new features, release notes, etc.) from what happened during testing. |

If you could only give one book to a tester to teach them about testing, what would it be? Is there anything in particular you like about this book? |

QA in Office Setting? This question is really vague. Sounds like you need a better understanding of the problem you are trying to solve. Use the best quality assurance tool you have: your brain! |

Can exploratory testing replace executing manual functional tests? You have a good point, perhaps it's worth expanding on it a bit? Especially if the author of the question doesn't understand? |
