What are good metrics for a test team to use to start measuring their workload and ability to meet external deadlines? Not that opinions are not welcome, just looking for more objective answers... :-) |

What are good metrics for a test team to use to start measuring their workload and ability to meet external deadlines? The only suggestion I'd give would be to get rid of the word "good" in the question as that kinda prompts for opinion... otherwise, a good epic question and one that I think is a challenge for most shops... |

How to 'Mock' SVN I'm sorry... when I read this question, all I can think of is "Look at me! i'm a stupid SVN! See how dumb I am!" kind of mocking... oy, it's been a long day... |

Who is ultimately responsible for issues that are found after software is released? +1 "If you get blamed for being responsible, your goal will be to not be responsible for anything. A vacuum of responsibility doesn't produce quality." Love this! |

Are state transition diagrams a good software testing technique There are two questions wrapped up into one here. First is a request for information of other state transition diagrams. Second is a question about the relationship between wizards and the states of a state engine. I think this question should be reworded for the first one to be more on the lines of "What other state transition diagrams are in use for designing software test cases?" The second question should be broken out into it's own question. |

Should automated tests be efficient? Agreed. The tool does have open COM architecture where we could add plug-ins to add our own support for components... but then we need to grab development support to do so which may be even less "efficient" for the company than simply using an "inefficient" means of performing a task. It's becoming a rather cliche response to questions like this but, "It depends. |

Should automated tests be efficient? Let me add that sometimes the technique you described, depending upon the tool and the component, may be the only way to perform that task. The tool I use, while wonderful, does not always have hooks into the components to do a "clever" search so sometimes the automation needs to be written "inefficiently" in order simply to perform the test. |

Should automated tests be efficient? What @Bruce said. This kind of question could spawn all sorts of varigated answers without really helping you. |

What are good guidelines to determine when to automate a test? Question, Bruce... are you talking general "automated testing" or the specific subset of "automated regression testing"? Depending upon what you're doing, there are additional things you'll want to consider for automated regression... (see sqa.stackexchange.com/q/656/453) for a conversation on the difference. |
