Which tools should I start with? My question is why do you say "boring"? If it is the study guides and classes, then I get that... school can be boring. But if you find the idea of testing boring, then I wonder how satisfied you will really be in this career? Just because you are playing with tools doesn't remove the fact you still need to understand the concepts of testing & how to best apply them. Maybe I'm just reading too much into that. But something to think about before you possibly invest too much into a career you won't be happy in. |

Which tools should I start with? I agree with Joe whole-heartedly. Knowing a tool if you don't know when and how to best utilize it doesn't mean much. You could be the most skilled person in the world & create lovely automated tests, but if they provide no value to the project they aren't worth anything. |

Recommend a Good QA Book @John. I agree there are some very good classics out there, but unfortunately for my certification anything too old I'm not able to count towards my annual hours. So I lean towards newer books. |

Who is ultimately responsible for issues that are found after software is released? +1 Code doesn't start with the coder & end at test. There are many cooks in the kitchen so to speak. Incorrectly understood customer needs, poor requirements, lack of equipment/tools, unidentified hardware, etc. can all contribute to defects. Use the post-mort to determine what slipped through & why so you can catch it next time around. |

When writing manual test cases and scripts, how much detail is too much detail when documenting the steps? Very good point. In our case we write tests & hand them over to an offshore testing group. But if I were running my own tests I would probably need to include the different things to remind myself to check them all. |
