Anybody know of any tools for tailing a users path through the logs please? Cheers Anna. It was a tool someone mentioned in passing - he was very vague! |

What learning resources are there for testers who want to study Systems Thinking? +1 for thesystemthinkingreview site, especially their podcasts: itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-systems-thinking-review/… |

Compare screenshots of rendered web pages We also use a tool for the comparison between the 'base' image (oracle) & the newly rendered page. Our Programmers wrote it in-house based on some code they found on the web - I'll post a link when they get back to me. |

Compare screenshots of rendered web pages We're using fighting layout bugs. Quite tricky to set up - the out-of-the-box config is very sensitive in that it gives loads of false negatives. there are several parameters for reducing sensitivity though. |

Is there a successful approach to automating security testing? Could the tool be used to run regression tests (checks) to ensure there's no deprecation in the quality of the security already in place? I agree that exploratory security testing is a cognitive skill. |

What's the difference between “testing” and “quality assurance”? I agree with this answer & I'd go even further with the testing being a subset of QA idea - As Michael Bolton puts it, as a Tester, you are not responsible for project budgets, staffing levels, deadlines etc - all of which have an impact on quality. As I see it, Testers provide information to the people who make the decisions on the state of the software |

how do i make the case to management for QA to get a new android for testing the mobile platform? +1 - and if you can associate a (negative) cost with those differences, compared to the cost of a new handset, it'll give you a stronger argument |

If you could only give one book to a tester to teach them about testing, what would it be? I'll second both of these - great reads |

Testing an application under continuous development Sounds like your company has adopted the 'Agile' product without actually being 'agile' in the development process. Developers writing automated unit tests (see below) will give you greater confidence & therefore greater flexibility. |

Testing an application under continuous development +1 for the developers writing automated unit tests as a long term strategy. The automated regression suite acts as a scaffolding for the code and gives you a certain level of confidence when 'accepting' the code for test. (some might argue you cannot have continuous integration if you dont have automated regression tests) |

Learning about Ethical Hacking This site is ace. I use it in conjunction with the textbooks, but it also takes you through the basics. |

The role of a software tester in an agile environment? Agree with you there Steve. All team members should be able to do each others role to a certain extent. Now for some lingo bingo - we're "generalising specialists". |

Print Stylesheets - how do you effectively test them? Thanks for this Bruce, greatly appreciated. We try and use PDF Creator to be a bit more environmentally friendly, but like print preview its not perfect. Thanks for the links - going to try that testapi. Fortunately our printouts dont need to be that accurate, so we dont need to cover printer settings as well as OS & browser settings |

How to QA the QA candidates… what should I look for in a QA person Agreed - make sure you identify the holes in your team that can't be fixed by a process (instead of a person) & recruit to fill those holes. |

Are code reviews considered part of QA? @Jim Rush - agreed. I test software. I don't know enough of external factors impacting the quality of a product in order to comment on it. |

Are code reviews considered part of QA? And we all know the earlier we find a bug, the cheaper it is to fix! |

Tools for Java software testing Spot on. be careful with record/playback automation tho - ensure your UI is stable (hopefully it is if you're nearing the end of the project |

Tools for Java software testing good call - again, I think you can get a plugin for eclipse. |
