I'm a long time tester and developer working for Microsoft where I'm currently a Principal SDET on the XBox team.

I've also worked on Microsoft Lync, Windows CE, Windows, and spent some time as Microsoft's Director of Test Excellence.

I am the lead author on the Microsoft Press book "How We Test Software at Microsoft", contributed chapters to a few other books (including "Beautful Testing") and frequently speak to, consult with, or teach classes to software developers and testers.

Not worthy of an answer, but I'll plug a paper I wrote last year that may help. uploads.pnsqc.org/2011/papers/T-30_Page_paper.pdf

comment How can I use causal loop diagrams to help me test?
Closest link I could find was ics.uci.edu/~ziv/papers/fseadobe.pdf - it should give you some ideas.

comment IPv4/IPv6 dependency testing
So many people use the terms interchangeably that I often fail to recognize the difference. I'll post a QA answer too.

comment Replacement for Microsoft's USB Device Simulation Framework (DSF)
Do you have a reference that shows DSF is being deprecated? I'm surprised to hear that.

comment Is there an industry-standard term for choosing which tests to run?
+1 This (test selection) is the name I use as well. Test staging, however, is new to me.

comment Looking for a faulty application for training
If you don't find one, I'd be interested in the types of errors you'd like to have seeded in the app - perhaps tiered to difficulty. I could contribute (how much depends on extent of application) to writing the "faulty application".

comment USB storage emulator
I do my best. As an aside, I wrote a chapter about DSF for Dorothy Graham's upcoming book on automation case studies. Hopefully out sometime this fall...or winter...
