I suspect that this post is going to be pretty vague as it talks about a dream. Don’t read it expecting 5 ways for better relationships, 7 tips for getting it right etc. Mitti daa Baawa – A Long Digression My friends are aware that for about 12 years in my life (11 – 22

I think at last I am at a point in this series where the building blocks spread across previous articles are going to start inter-connecting. When I started with the series, I had accepted the complexity upfront and the inherent vagueness as well as the risk of writing out of order – because all forms

A language might have a million words, but all those words don’t matter. You need a sub-set of them in your whole life. A still smaller sub-set of them for your professional work, possibly in thousands. A still smaller sub-set which focus your learning on, possibly in hundreds. And them come the think-words – the

I’m at the sixth article of this series, parts of which are overwhelming for me too. It’s obvious. I am talking about theoretically infinite infinities everywhere for a tester. How do we embrace it?

Here’s a model that I developed many years back, although I never presented or wrote about it as a separate topic. During the

A definition is not just a group of words. It sets the theme. It sets the expectation. If someone gives you a definition of a test in terms of process and measurements, you can expect that what he or she would offer later will be in that direction. A definition is a window into the

I am not good at this. Yesterday, I tried putting together my thoughts into a single diagram to build the base for future articles in this series. I plan a layer, and then realise the layer is wrong. I plan a direction, and realise the direction itself has a bias. The words are ambiguous, vague
