A short post on topic Test is Dead

I know you think I am an expert tester.  I am, safely.

One of the ways in which I remain as an expert tester is by reading what real expert testers are writing about and add my own thoughts to it and thereby making a large population (who don't blog anyway) think I belong to the expert testers league. For over 6 years, I have been successful in fooling many to believe I am an expert tester. I want to take that record further.

For those who don't know the context of Test is Dead, here is a story : Once upon a time some foxes got around a grape yard. They jumped and jumped but could never get hold of the juicy looking grapes. Some grapes that had fallen down due to wind were covered by mud and the foxes poo. One of the foxes ate it and said "Grapes are sour". They started to spread the idea about grapes being sour.

IMO, thankfully, the grapes are sour to those foxes who would have spoiled them if they had access to it.

Scott BarberBen Kelly & Matt Heusser has covered a good deal about (those who think) Test is Dead. I wonder if some people reading their blog and then mine might wonder why I didn't write on this topic. As a reader of my blog do you think I have lost expertness factor in testing? No way! Look at the title again, I posted on the topic Test is Dead.
