You are offering what testing looks like to you, at the moment. Other people are offering what testing looks like to them, no matter how they present it.<BR/><BR/>If we come together with an attitude of respect, and sincere intention, we all get to learn things.<BR/><BR/>For me, I am glad to talk with anyone about testing or software development if they are offering their best insight and seeking to understand mine. What they believe doesn't matter. On the other hand, if the intention is something other than learning together, I can't be bothered.<BR/><BR/>That's a pretty good way to develop software, too.Jim Bullockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824981079885202606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-22652944608395666502008-06-07T16:57:00.000+05:302008-06-07T16:57:00.000+05:30Thank you Pradeep, for this wonderful letter and l...Thank you Pradeep, for this wonderful letter and lessons.
