A young, fresh-faced QA Analyst. Popping the why stack and punching ducks.
I work for a very fine software company in the UK, I like to help others with their problems, and I like to get help with mine. I'm also a lock picker, a gamer, a programmer and a terrbile cook and these are all reasons I get on so well with StackExchange.
If you are a QA or Automation type I direct you to the QA stack exchange site: http://sqa.stackexchange.com/
I'm now also a budding Arduino user! I have blown the dust off my soldering iron, and off to work I go.

Recommend a Good QA Book While I'm at it I recommend online blogs and lectures on the subject. Mainly because they are fantastic and free. |

Classification of typical software bugs A system of bug classification is entirely context-specific. I think that the problems over endless software bug classes have more to do with the infinite complexity of projects and the desire to segregate issues in a way that suits the processes of a particular context. So +1 to this answer, even though bug taxonomy is what the question was after. |

How to add screen shot for pass status in UI Automation You need to word your question more carefully to get targeted answers. I presume you're testing a software GUI. What tool(s) are you using for testing? Are you testing a web front-end or an application front-end? You mention a "default setting" but not the program in which the setting exists. At the moment the answers to your question are infinite, and most of them won't be helpful to you. Hope that helps! |

Tester Versus Test cases written by the tester This is a minefield at the moment. We have many "What are the best" and "what would you use" and "what's your experience of" type questions right now, and I think we need better FAQ guidelines. |

Any personal experiences on EggPlant, cross platform and application automated testing tool? Is this question asking "are there any reviews" or "has anyone implemented a large scale automated testing project using it" or "what are people's experiences"? |

Is drag-and-drop possible in watir-webdriver? Yeah I do wish QA would migrate to SQA&T. Thanks for the advice, though, I shall do a crosspost of victory. |

Is drag-and-drop possible in watir-webdriver? Many thanks. Should be noted for other users that wd is part of the private API so shouldn't be used for large projects that cannot maintain a change to it. Luckily I'll use whatever I can get, and for non-IE testing this may prove very useful |

How many types of testing i should perform? You do, but you can't produce a sensibly complex project with no bugs. You can only aim for the highest quality you can acheieve with your time and budget. Saying "ok" to the project going live is basically saying something like "this project is in such a state that the critical areas of the system work as expected, there are no bugs that prevent the core use by the users, and all other bugs are as low as we can get them" |

What is the difference between “automated testing” and “automated regression testing”? Am I being dense when I say that "Automated" means "without manual input"? The tests are independant of the testing mechanism, so automated regression testing is a subset of automated testing. Remove the term "Automated" (the mechanism by which the tests are run) and you have "testing" and "regression testing". Also the first of the two types of automated test in the OP seems to be automated smoke testing. I tried to illustrate terminology confusion in sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/1216/… |

What is the difference between sanity and smoke testing? It does. The delimitation of definition and domain discussion does deal definite damage to discernment. There is a conceptual difference, though, even when they are the same in practice. |
