"Better Ideas at Test Design"
summary
Frames test design as a continuous pipeline of ideas that turn tester skill into actionable information, and uses risk-based domain testing and equivalence-class/boundary analysis on OpenOffice Impress to demonstrate specifics: choosing the variable "transparency of elements," exploring modes and edit locations, and finding a reproducible crash on two-digit undo. Recommends reading defect reports, BBST test design materials, pairing with colleagues, and embedding testers in teams so small, continuous improvements scale into better bug detection.
