Here are some articles/blog posts kicking around in my head that I thought I’d write down.

• 3 types of tests (validation, regression, exploratory)
• Focussed exploratory testing (and session based testing)
• Web automation tools (Selenium, Watir, Canoo, Mechanize)
• Page based testing framework (page elements and IDE completion)
• Introduction to Selenium with STIQ (SolutionTestIQ)
• The QA stack (version control, documentation and requirements, task management, bug tracking, builds, code analysis, continuous integration, deployment, test framework, automation — examples: subversion, xwiki, projectpier, bugzilla, ant, cobertura, cruisecontrol, capistrano, junit, selenium )
• Bugs, Tasks Tickets, and Features
• Bugs vs. Defects (one bugs you, the other doesn’t match a requirement)
• Triage – taming the bug database (include backlog review)
• Grouping tests (with tags)
• wiki test cases
• test consulting survey (would you hire an independent consultant?)
• testing and domain knowledge (why a consultant with a recurring part time relationship)
• Version Control Systems – one of the most important QA tools (it allows you to break things)
• Archetypical prospective customers
• Scrum and Standup meetings

If someone asks for one of them, I’ll get to work on it. Otherwise, I’ll work through the list and add/subtract as I feel.
