Just consider that the biggest obstacle of where you are now, and where you want to get to, is the opinion you have of yourself

A happy person isn’t someone who’s happy all the time. It’s someone who effortlessly interprets events in such a way that they don’t lose their innate peace.

@jsphwrd A key difference between a tester and other people: a tester questions things that are apparently obvious, seemingly safe assumptions, things that other people take for granted. To do this, testers must practice and learn to drop their fear—or pretensions of knowing things.

It’s kinder to say no immediately than to say yes and then drop the ball. If you’re not going to make time, don’t string people along with false hope. #TuesdayThoughts

The product probably *can* work, and your testing can probably show that fairly easily. If your testing isn't oriented towards finding out how the product *isn’t* working, or *might not* work, then your testing isn’t working.

Heuristic: when you’re testing, and you can’t figure out whose interests aren’t being served by the product or by your testing, consider “technical support people”.

When you’re testing, it’s fine to avoid taking good notes, as long your goal is to rush straight through and forget lots of stuff later. Note-taking aids memory, and induces little pauses where we can quickly reflect on what we’re doing and the options to continue or to turn.

Regression checking is often miscast as "making sure that there's no change from one build to the next". Be careful about that. The mission of testing isn't to make sure that nothing changes; it’s to *notice* changes, and to evaluate whether changes we’ve got are changes we want.

The joy of mentoring isn't in seeing your proteges follow in your footsteps. It's in helping them discover and develop their own principles and passions. #FridayFeeling
