Linda, As always your words hit the nail on the head. I voiced discontent on my blog as well...

Well said, well expressed...

Patterns, learning from experience and from the work already done by others, books, theorums - all great things...

Evolution is excellent. If we listen to the experience and observe the outcomes, we get better at what we do.

I don't think we can discard the things that are time-tested and effective - or even the exploration of what is proposed to be a "new thing." But, do we only believe the things the Monarchy of QA-dom (or Object-dom or Java-dom or Technology-dom or Pattern-dom...) say are relevant? No. Read, learn, take what works and use it - make it into good stuff in your daily life. Just as important: help others find out how to use the good stuff as it applies to them.

QA is an awesome activity. In respect to the latest acronymic-named whiz-bang theorum, what appears to be important is not what is blessed by the experts - rather, it seems to be important knowing whether or not to use a sledgehammer on a screw or a screwdriver on a rail spike (or not).

No way, Linda, I never give up that easily!

Put it another way. Just as I ask other testers, I ask myself, what do I need to do today that brings value to me and my clients?

In a nutshell, for me, its not about intellectual discussions about "what is testing", etc. I like to read about them, so for those interested & willing please continue.

I just don't want to waste what I consider is my valuable time into entering into the discussion.

There's plenty of people out there who have a view. I'd like to focus on what is real and important for me.

For me, I will go about my business of a) testing and b) getting cusotmers and c) writing about both a) and b).

That's what I meant to say.

keep up the good work.

You are what is most important in this field - a practioner. Without you, and people like you, all of the theorists in the world have a Big Bag of Nothing. Theory with no application

Your experiences in the field are invaluable. You want to see an "expert"? Go look in the mirror.

So I hope your comment didn't mean you're leaving us. What a sad comentary that would be to everyone else.

Regardless, it's been a pleasure to "meet" you and I've enjoyed our conversations - whether we were agreeing or not!

It's easy to get caught up in all the hullabaloo. I find it distracts from actual testing and running my business. So I've made a decision to focus those and leave 'definitions' and 'analysis' to 'Experts'.

I value some of the posts about testing. I do find them insightful, but I've realised its not what I'm about.

Its back to trenches for me.
