Question Vernon and Dan wanted to come back to

Hi Dan, What sources of information do rate for “best practice” Information? For example I’ve been looking in to quality metrics. The Accelerate book points towards Roll backs and away from code coverage. But currently it’s my only non opinion based source. Do you have any others?

Questions we didn’t get to

  1. Paul Coles: There was a question on the club the other day. What do you think of not being able to link cases to requirements until you’ve written all the tests? Do you think this the best way, or you do it as you go along. Would we even need to link requirements to tests, outside of waterfall type projects? (I think this is the Club thread Paul is talking about Requirements Coverage on Tests)
  2. @lgibbs: What is the ultimate goal of software testing?
  3. Alexander Orlovsky: testing is important, but how do you sell it, what is your major selling pitches?
  4. @major: Are there any Security Testing tools (Paid and Open Source) that you would recommend for both new & experienced Testers?
  5. @akshayagupta: Best practices to setup Native Mobile apps test automation strategies and tooling? Shift left, Stubbing strategy, test without backend, shall we choose appium like tool or native tools, non-functional testing etc .
