Dear All,
I am a keynote speaker at DevTalks 2023 in Bucharest. Join my session on 22 June!
See you there! https://t.co/EvlzMGkD2t

Nowadays test design automation is a must, but lots of testers and developers don't know why it is important and which method is worth applying. In my presentation, I will explain everything you need to know about this interesting…https://t.co/eiFrWaQbs6 https://t.co/zumd2rekRG

Traditional model-based testing can be stateless or stateful. In this blog post, I compare these two.

Model-based testing (MBT) brings test design into the test automation process. Traditional MBT methods use a single phase that contains everything needed for test code generation. A higher-level method is double-phase MBT, where the high-level model is im…https://t.co/HSMXehjwzP

Without appropriate test design, test automation is worthless as you will execute test cases several times without detecting the bugs in your software. Test design is one of the essential prerequisites of quality. In my new blog po…https://t.co/Le3sEj4vrZ https://t.co/It6iZiqiuW

For me, the golden age of software testing was between 1975 and 1980. Lots of interesting new ideas and results were invented during this period. If you want to know the origin of software testing read my blog post:

Bugfix costs are very high due to poor test design. You as a good tester can save money and increase quality in parallel if you apply advanced test design techniques. Here is an example of how.

I show how fault-based testing helps us not only for validating our testing efficiency but helps us improve test design as well.

Efficient test automation requires test design automation and test execution automation together. There are three main types of test design automation. Read my article to efficiently select the best solution for you.

This week we decreased the price of both the ebook and paperback versions of Paradigm Shift in Software Testing by 20%. This book describes two new test design techniques by which you can find all the BVA defects and almost all the…https://t.co/HM0v6Oom2R https://t.co/Fs52tNk4Pe

Thanks to the 30 professionals who filled out the test design poll. The correct solution is the last one: T1: 4 T2: 30 T3: 30.1 T4: 32

Only two solutions were correct. However, those who selected other test sets cannot be blamed a…https://t.co/zNsOIi6INn https://t.co/vnJkBDrKcJ

Can you solve this simple BVA task? I will post the result of the poll and the correct solution. If you would like to do more difficult exercises let's visit https://t.co/8ubvxeYGdv https://t.co/KK0zEy5qZV

General predicate testing (GPT) is a reliable extension of boundary value analysis (BVA) when more logically dependent requirements are given. We show how easy to apply this method in practice. Unfortunately, the traditional BVA is…https://t.co/GGfaBKujhD https://t.co/3gTI5PG7Zj

Here is the last article about the common misconceptions in software testing. It's the well-known principle 'testing shows the presence of defects' that is generally true but a better assertion can be said. The cause is that there…https://t.co/plG48KBpzz https://t.co/zbyLauNeN5
