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.

Developers have code kata to practice skills. What test equivalents are there? ParkCalc is fun, but I don't think testing a super-buggy application is a good simulation of real-world testing (unless, of course, your apps are actually that buggy). |

What is meant by “Automated tests don't find new bugs”? IMO, that's sad. |

Testing techniques repository? Probably not, but can you give a few examples of what you mean by techniques - do you mean t"formal" est design ideas like pairwise testing and boundary analysis, or general ideas like "test for foreign characters and high contrast"? |

Has automated UI regression testing helped you in finding critical defects in system? I'll add, that in context of the original question, @hannibal's answer is correct, as the question was about GUI regression tests. I'm just wondering what to call my perf, stress, and model based automated tests that find new bugs all the time. |
