Selecting the Right Test Design Technique
Derk-Jan shares his insights on test technique selection and poses three questions you should ask yourself when selecting a technique: What types of errors do I want to find? What impact do these errors have in production? Is the needed information to perform these tests available? He then lays out a list of common test techniques and discusses which error types they are most likely to discover. Take back a new understanding of test technique choice and selection to become a better software defect sleuth.
