What learning resources are there for testers who want to study Systems Thinking? "Few testers study" systems thinking is a gross over-generalization. Systems thinking applies not only to testers but to many people in the software. In fact, one could argue that anyone who has studied biology or other natural sciences in school has "studied" system thinking to some degree. Of course the ability to apply systems thinking to software testing (or engineering) is the key. (FWIW I have never met a tester who tests individual components in isolation, but maybe your experience is different.) |

Should data validation be automated in a rapid development environment Great comment Kate. When I first read "dB structure changing every quarter" I thought either this team needs some better up-front planning, or it would likely be some wasted cycles trying to hit a moving target and he would likely spend more time maintaining the automation than any perceived value he got from it. |

Is a distinction between “testing” and “checking” useful? Not all automation is rudimentary script-lets, and some automation designs incorporate things such as data variations and or state transition variations (model based testing or "automated exploration") that involves 'experimentation.' |

Test cases in source code As would I, but in some small shops test code unfortunately is sometimes scattered about local machines or stored on various servers. |

What proportion of different types of software testing does your team use? I wish I could upvote this many times over. Anna makes several excellent points here. |

In TDD, do tests need to be automated? To say "most developers do not have the time or interest to do test automation" is a bit narrow and most dev's I know now definately have a different point of view compared to say 5 years ago. A dev who doesn't unit test his/her code is incompetent at best. Also, what the heck is a manual unit test? "Manual unit testing" is an oxymoron. |
