Tools , do go for a course BUT after you learn them ... write your own documents of what you think about the tool , why do you need such a tool , can there be anything better , will you be able to make one such .. Asking a lot of questions is a must , Best wishes in the road aheadPradeep Soundararajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849721523107325938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1140762165891085042006-02-24T11:52:00.000+05:302006-02-24T11:52:00.000+05:30Great post!

I've joined a couple wanting to share/get experiences on testing approachs and techniques, but 90% of the conversation is on automated testing tools. Not that tools aren't helpful - they are and I think every tester should have a toolset that they can pull from. But I agree wholeheartedly with you - if you don't know <B>how</B> to test, then a tool can't help you!<BR/><BR/>B<BR/>http://www.carnegiequality.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1139997214320298052006-02-15T15:23:00.000+05:302006-02-15T15:23:00.000+05:30Hey..good one again.. keep them coming...Hey..good one again.. keep them coming...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1139981929290084002006-02-15T11:08:00.000+05:302006-02-15T11:08:00.000+05:30Thanks Jagen , Will for sure keep meeting your exp...Thanks Jagen ,<BR/><BR/> Will for sure keep meeting your expectations !Pradeep Soundararajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849721523107325938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1139981677906004672006-02-15T11:04:00.000+05:302006-02-15T11:04:00.000+05:30Hi The informations provided by you on testing thr...Hi <BR/><BR/>The informations provided by you on testing through this blog is very useful and intresting. <BR/><BR/>All the best<BR/><BR/>Keep posting more articles on testing and happenings in testing industry.<BR/><BR/>Thanks and Regards<BR/>C.JeganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
