What are 10 things you should never say to a junior tester/QA?

But, when you encourage the use of detailed test scripts instead of analysis and test design, when you mandate a bug template that no one should break under any circumstances and when you insist on 100% automation (making your only “tests” checks), you are just using a more complicated version of “Avoid using your brain”. And that is a really damaging thing to say to a newcomer

And yet its not all black and white. much of that is in the “Why”. Communicating why exploratory tests must be detailed. Why the defect template should be followed (Im not a fan of required fields, however), understanding the “Must, SHould, Could, Wont” of tests to be automated is very important.
