How to deal with automation naysayers? +1 for listening to them as well. Definitely editing my response to reference that. Mine was focused so much on how to make them do what we want, but that's only half the story. Forcing the issue without building good relations will only make things hard down the road. |

How should you interview for QA positions? +1 for engaging them to make them ask questions. Being a good tester isn't about how well you answer questions, but how well you ask them. |

How to deal with testers who do more than test @testerab The key point is that they not only test, but also generate the spec, and functional requirements for the project. Because their primary goal is to get the project done to who ever requested it's satisfaction, they will often neglect to test the other effected areas, potentially breaking it for other people. Their bias as spec writers is the primary concern of the question. |

How can I change the dates used in TFS 2010 SharePoint portal's burndown excel chart? thanks for the clarification on that. You're right it isn't exactly SQA material, although you could argue in the broader definition of SQA that any ALM practices fall under it. |

Can every test be done by automation? This answer is only true until Google invents a server environment that simulates sending your application live, baking in client archetypes for users to study their emotional reactions and, of course, those users will think of everything (at least everything your real users will.) C'mon Google, we're counting on you! |

What's the difference between “testing” and “quality assurance”? I like the one sentence breakdowns. I would question the relevance of "final" in there. I would hope that QA would have a say in the readiness of the application for alpha, private beta, and public beta releases as well. |

Capturing screen shots in selenium tests +1 for the idea of comparing them against expected results. It would be more difficult, but it would take the manual aspect out of it. I still personally see it being, I don't know how to put it, "not in the spirit" of automated testing, if you catch my drift. But that is a very clever idea, even if the practicality of it has some hurdles to jump through. |
