Cause-effect graphing, by the way, would be one good example of a test technique that might work out - I honestly don't know - but is in sore need of revision in the manner in which it is presented. As it is typically presented, the idea is too "lossy" - it doesn't have good transference.<br /><br />When James, Cem, and Jerry have had ideas that don't transfer, they've noticed and revised the idea - compare James's columns in IEEE Computer to his rhetoric today, for example.<br /><br />Perhaps Myer's 2004 edition of the Art of Computer Software Testing did just that, I'm afraid I don't know.<br /><br />If my tone came off as insulting, I apologize. That was not my intent at all.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05956714498778698672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36118108.post-19135354903686628772010-09-21T16:17:14.707-07:002010-09-21T16:17:14.707-07:00You say "There are also several people like G...You say "There are also several people like Glenford Meyers, Richard Bender, or Boris Beizer who did very promising work but didn't stick around to wrestle with how their ideas were implemented in practice, to see if they worked."<br /><br />You are clearly ignorant of what Bender, Beizer, and Meyers actually did. I find it more than offensive that you denigrate their work to decorate your shallow ramblings. You owe them all an apology.debuggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11344504858882752744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36118108.post-51431335735741948652010-06-23T06:35:28.409-07:002010-06-23T06:35:28.409-07:00I call for Cem Kaner, as Jerry Weinberg should get...I call for Cem Kaner, as Jerry Weinberg should get an honorary award for all his life work. Sure, Jerry was part of the first testing team, he dedicated almost anything to improvements in software quality, but he's above testing on that end. He deserves more from my perspective. :)Markus Gärtnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728306418553053255noreply@blogger.com
