Announcing 37 Sources for Test Ideas the test eye
It is often stated, with right, that you should use many, different information sources in order to come up with good test ideas.
Rob Sabourin uses 10 categories, HICCUPPS(F) can be used not only as oracles, and Cem Kaner has many examples in various presentations and tutorials.
We decided to make our own list with sources we find useful, and describe them so they can be useful for others.
We finally ended up with 37 Sources for Test Ideas; have a look and see if they can inspire your quest for what is important.
Comments, additions, experiences are more than welcome!

Hi Guillaume
From common perspectives: Learn a lot + tester’s mindset
Train in test ideas: Just tell tehm they don’t have to (aren’t allowed to) write test cases, and it’s no problem.
Record test ideas: Use whatever you find suitable: lists in documents, mind maps, whiteboard, sticky notes??
