Arsenal FC’s current situtation

What i think could help Arsenal get better results again

I am a huge Arsenal FC fan and have been since 2009 when i was 10 years old. To be honest Arsenal have not been as great a football team, as they were back in the days. I know that Mikel Arteta is new at being a manager and that can be one of the reasons why the team is not doing well. But this can not really be the only reason why they are playing like this. When Arteta took over for the Gunners last year, we suddenly saw a whole different team. All of a sudden there was a plan and the players seemed to be playing very well, and we even ended up winning both the FA cup and the Community shield. We also started of very well in the beginning of the Premier League this season, but then it took a drastic turn. We are now on 5 loses and 2 draws in the last 7 games of the Premier League, so that must mean that something has to change. From my perspective i would want Arteta to make some more changes in the team after this period of bad games. I, of course, do not know what is going on between him and Mesut Özil, but i feel he should be given the chance to play in the start of the new year. The problem is also that Aubameyang is not getting enough chances on goal, and how would you expect a striker to score if he does not get set up for one. I feel Özil is the man to do so. I am not saying he should get into the stating lineup, but just a few minutes now and then, to see if he improves. I am not saying Özil is the man to save Arsenal from where they are now, but it could help. The team also needs to work together and i am sure that their mentality and confidence will be at a better state, when they finally win a game again.

Has Solskjær really perked up United or is it yet another false dawn?
Tags: Football, Premier League, Manchester United, Brunofernandes, Ole Gunnar Solskjær

2020 was supposed to be the year that propelled the human race to greater heights. To say that it has not lived up to expectations would be putting it mildly. Jose Mourinho is the current Tottenham manager, Arsenal are drudging ever so deeper into a relegation dogfight, Liverpool have lifted the league title after a 30-year hiatus, and fans are no longer allowed into stadiums. Ole Gunnar Solskjær, the man famous for the quote “My job’s on the line boys”, and for the winning goal in the 1999 Champions League final, of course, is leading Manchester United on the path to the league title in what is turning out to be the most 2020ish thing of them all.

United fans started the season with a sense of déjà vu as their team succumbed to a 1–3 defeat at home to Crystal Palace. The Red Devils, led by the baby-faced assassin in Solskjær have managed to turn their season around and are currently sitting in third, with just 5 points separating them and league leaders Liverpool. Bearing in mind that United do have a game in hand, a win would see them cut the lead to 2 points, just one season after they finished 33 points behind champions Liverpool.

Say what you want about the man in the United hot seat but credit is due where credit is deserved. The signing of Bruno Fernandes has galvanized a side that, only a year ago, were toughing it out for a Champions League spot. Fernandes has provided the spark the side were yearning for. The Portuguese has been involved in 29 goals in 27 matches and has found a place for himself as the talisman of the team.

Now, at this juncture, a question may arise. How has one signing, who hasn’t even spent a year in Manchester, reinvigorated a team that was languishing in the Europa League positions this time around last year?

Solskjær’s United have tended to fall under the label of a classic counter-attacking team. Against top-6 sides, last season, Solskjær’s men sat deep and hit their opponents on the counter. This strategy worked so well that they managed to beat their rivals Manchester City thrice in the same season.

However, when it came to facing sides in the bottom half of the table, sides that were happy to relinquish possession and play on the counter themselves, United struggled. With Solskjær’s inputs from the sidelines lacking tactically, the Red Devils went into a dazed state when asked to play their way through tightly packed defences. In short, they were shorn of creativity.
I thought this would be a perfect time to start a blog.

I thought this would be a perfect time to start a blog.

Football season winding down, basketball starting up, hockey set to return.

It’s fantasy sports season, Baby. Buckle up.

Now, for you fantasy football fiends who plan their calendar around their draft in late August, you may not care about fantasy basketball or hockey. Or maybe you’re curious as to how one manages a lineup day in and day out for five whole months. Well, wonder no more. I am a man who can help you have a peek at what it’s like to manage one of these teams. And give you some football tips.

My fantasy football team was the definition of degenerate this season. I entered as the reigning last-place team, took Zeke Elliott 1st overall (yikes), started off going 6–1 in the first half of the season only to go 8–6, finish in 3rd, start the semifinals hot with a Darren Waller and Cole Beasley heater only to crash out thanks to Ryan Tannehill and Calvin fucking Ridley. Welp.

I’ve never played fantasy basketball before. My brother invited me to join one and I did. Fuck it, it’s COVID, why not? I actually lucked out and won the first pick! Who doesn’t love that? My team is:

Kyrie Irving

Fred VanVleet

CJ McCollum

Kevin Durant

Anthony Davis

Victor Oladipo

Jusuf Nurkic

Mitchell Robinson

TJ Warren

Brandon Clarke

Kristaps Porzingis

Otto Porter Jr

Killian Hayes

Jerami Grant

Damn. That teams looks fine if I do say so myself. However, knowing my luck, my team will look nice to start and end terribly, like this:

On top of that, with another group of friends, I’m playing fantasy hockey. We draft the 3rd. Those are always fun. I’ve been on a massive cold streak, following up a championship in 2017 with three straight finishes out of the playoffs. Whoops. I guess when you’re a Leaf fan like myself who bites on second-year Auston Matthews’ potential with the 3rd overall pick while not considering his injuries, you fuck yourself over. Uh oh.

So consider this the start of a new series as I track my progress through both the NBA and NHL’s shortened, COVID-full and hectic seasons through the eyes of my fantasy team. I look forward to posting every Monday night while also dreading telling you about how awful my team is.

Welcome. Glad to call you a degenerate.
The Orb gang rebrands Wrexham AFC.
Tags: Football, Branding, Rebranding

Even if you’re not a football fan you’ve probably seen Wrexham AFC hitting the headlines recently. They’ve been propelled into the spotlight after Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney completed a takeover of the club. One thing all football fans fear following a takeover is the club losing its identity, but there’s also a lot of excitement about the future. If Wrexham start to move up the leagues, they’ll want to attract new fans and will likely need to develop and evolve their brand to be more marketable.

THE LENGTH OF YOUR PATH IS IMPORTANT, NOT YOUR PHYSICAL LENGTH

Lionel Andres Messi is the best Football player in the world playing as an Argentine Forward Football player and the captain of the national team of Argentine and Barcelona’s La Liga Football club. He is born in 1987, June 24 in Rosario, Argentine. He holds the record of hitting the highest number of goals in La Liga club i.e. 444 goals. As he born and brought up in a family where the love for Football was immense. So, the passion for playing Football was inbuilt for him.

Moisés Caicedo – Scout report
Tags: Scouting Reports, Scouting, Football, Manchester United

Wherever he plays, Caicedo often scans his surroundings to find space and makes himself available to the ball-carrier. This ability helps him more further up the pitch as it is where the areas will be more crowded. When he plays deeper, he often doesn’t receive under pressure, which could be a worry because it will not be the case in a better league.

In the still below, Caicedo finds a way to be alone in an area where the opponent should be. He will receive a pass from his teammate highlighted in yellow and that will result in a chance for his side.

Despite not often finding himself under pressure in deeper areas, Caicedo is still able to use his body to get out of a tight situation. This is depicted below.

In more crowded areas however, Caicedo combines well and tries to release the ball as quickly as possible.

To highlight my point about the lack of pressure in deeper areas, you can see the GIF below. When Caicedo receives, he is alone but is still able to find a teammate by breaking the first defensive line.

The Ecuador international equally has good instincts higher up the pitch, he combines well in tight spaces and is able to identify space to run into at already a good level. He has an efficient shot as well, already scoring from outside the box on two occasions. These instincts could be further improved and become an exciting feature of his game.

Below, his teammate receives the ball to then find him but Caicedo decides to let the ball slide through his legs to make a third man run and score.

While Caicedo can find his teammates between the lines, he doesn’t do it enough but also does make some mistakes, due to his age, in his passes. His passes with his weaker are good. If he was to come to United, he would instantly become the second most ambipedal player of the squad after Fred when it comes to passing with both feet (Fred was at 28% of passes with his weaker foot last season, Pogba around 12%).

On one hand, he picks up teammates between the lines despite the crowded area.

On the other hand, he can misplace passes that are easy to execute and he does it on a regular basis.

Finally, I will talk about his intensity (or lack thereof) of the ball when he should ask for the ball. The way he handles himself on the pitch makes him calm upon receiving but it means he could come across as not willing to ask for the ball if his teammate needs a passing option. That costed him multiples times, against Argentina or in the GIF below.

I highlighted you where he stands before watching the GIF to be more aware of where you should look. Caicedo receives the ball and misplaces his pass because he is too complacent.

While he still has some work to do on his intensity and his focus, Caicedo has evident qualities that a manager could further develop as there are some interesting ones.

API Testing

Tags: Software Testing, Qa Testing, Api Testing, API, Testing

APIs have been around since 1960, without API the digital experiences that we expect every day as a consumer wouldn’t be possible. APIs are doing everything from driving information which marketing campaigns to connecting mobile apps, to streamlining internal operations. API acts as a messenger and runs back and forth between your application database and devices. API is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other without any glitches. Every time we use an app like Facebook to send an instant message or to chat with a friend whenever you check the weather on your phone you are using an API. APIs provide effortless integration, it allows the customer to access data server or any other application in a very stable and secure way. Mobile phones and devices embedded with sensors fit perfectly with the service base structure of API. Cloud Computing is already rising and API is needed in the initial migration and integration with the other system in the cloud. API is what that gives values to your application, is what makes our phone smart and is what streamline the business processes. So if an API doesn’t work effectively and efficiently it will not be adopted by the software giants also if an API breaks because of errors that aren’t detected there is a threat of not only breaking a single application but an entire chain of business processes associated with it. So the solution is to test the API before it is put to use.

API — Software Testing Questions
An approach to apply the Separation of Concern Principle in UI Test Automation !
By: Abdulrahman Emad
Tags: Software Design, Test Automation, Software Testing

At the beginning let’s emphasize that the automation is kind of engineering and these activities/goals are the core of the software industry aspects. Basically, I’m not a quality engineer but ensuring the quality has my attention. I’ve been having a curiosity for this field in last years then I had this chance with last project witch is a desktop application.

We have built an automation infrastructure that is fragmented into four contexts:

The arrows demonstrate the direction of the dependency.

1. Application

Is responsible for launching the app with the configured values, resolving the inspection 3rd party library and initializing a session with the app. It has an entry point for the nested views. It talks mostly technical language and few business language.

2. Views

It defines the views and it’s UI elements hierarchically, so each element has an owner and is composed in a parent element. It exposes the business actions and actual results. Also it is responsible for loading the UI structure from Json files. It talks mostly business language and a few technical languages.

For any reason if a certain element or view has been moved to another module all what we need is to edit it’s meta data to point to the new parent.

3. Tests

It has the business scenarios/assertions of the test cases. It talks only business language.

4. Inspector

This is for inspecting the UI elements by any type. When we want to locate a specific element relative to another element or we want to inspect an operational data i.e., items in a grid, we do that using programmatic / dynamic inspection.

To achieve that it exposes a parametrized functionality that is needed to manipulate the UI. In our case we wrap the usage of xpath, page-source parsing, get child elements “/*”, or get input elements by it’s label ”/following-sibling:”.

Each time the inspector is locating an element he does that hierarchically based on the view’s meta-data.

This context talks only in technical language.

The Design

The infrastructure is implemented based on OOP concepts i.e. composition, abstraction/polymorphism. .The following diagram demonstrates the relationship between the four contexts.
Getting started with Robot Framework + Selenium for automation testing (4) — Creating self defined keyword
By: Peng Zhang
Tags: Robot Framework, Software Testing, Automation Testing, Test Automation Framework, Test Automation

The test passes with no issue. However, if you want to use the search feature in multiple test cases, then you will need to repeat steps from row 3 to row 7 in all those test cases, which is time consuming and error prone. In this case, we would like to store these steps in a separate function and reuse it whenever need be, just like the way we are coding. This is where self defined keyword comes into picture.

Now, let’s do it. Right click project name GoogleTest -> New User Keyword, and enter “Search for Given Keyword”:

There is a field for arguments as well, but let’s ignore that at the moment. Proceed and copy/paste row 3 to row 7 into the new keyword:

Importance of Manual Testing in the IT Sector
By: Devesh Kumar
Tags: Quality Software, Software Testing, Quality Assurance, Manual Testing, Qa Testing

Manual Tester can test the application under a similar condition when the application goes live, any bug, glitches or error can easily track with help of manual testing. Basically, when you are testing an application manually main focus is on understanding the requirement, documenting the test cases and executing the test cases. Manual Testing help to identify any issue related to look and feel of the application. It also helps to find out the usability issue with the application any bug and defect that may pop up as soon as the user handles the given software in a certain way are more likely to be fetched with the help of manual testing. An initial investment in manual testing is very low as it doesn’t require costly tools or high-level skills and hence in short term scenarios, manual testing is very cost-effective.

Getting started with Robot Framework + Selenium for automation testing (5) — Data driven testing with self defined library
By: Peng Zhang
Tags: Robot Framework, Software Testing, Automation Testing Tool, Test Automation Framework, Test Automation

As you may be aware of, it’s always a good idea to separate actual test data and test steps from test script to achieve data driven testing, therefore we can keep “robot framework” in a data file and load it during execution. There are several types of file we may take into account: “.csv”, “.xls”, “.xlsx”, “.properties” and etc. For instance, test data “robot framework” can be written into a .csv file like this:

We can create “TestData.csv” with the above setup in our project directory:

What we are going to do now is to use file reading functionality to load the test data. However, file reading functionality is not included in either built-in library or selenium library, which means we have to write it. Python allows us to create self defined libraries to cater for our needs, and these libraries can also be imported into Robot Framework. Let’s do so! First, create a python file called “DataDriven.py” under the “path_to_python/Lib”, and write the following code:
Solution On Exercise On Coverage Criteria — Tentamen Software Testing Blog
By: Karlo Smid
Tags: Software Testing

Image by PublicDomainPictures from Pixabay

TL;DR

In the previous posts, we presented your coverage criteria exercise to recap that topic. Today we answer questions from that exercise. We will introduce you to software testing based on the remarkable book, Introduction To Software Testing by Paul Ammann and Jeff Offutt.

C1 coverage criteria are sanitizer type, C2 coverage criteria are sanitizer color.

Write test requirements TR1 and TR2 for C1 and C2.

TR1 = {type = ‘hands’, type = ‘surface’, type = ‘electronics’}

TR2 = {color = ‘transparent’}

2. Write test sets T1 and T2 that satisfy C1 and C2.

T1 = {‘hand sanitizer’, ‘surface sanitizer’, ‘electronics sanitizer’, ‘bathroom sanitizer’}

T2 = {‘hand sanitizer’, ‘bathroom sanitizer’}

3.. Does C1 subsume C2?

Yes.

4. Does T1 satisfy C2? Explain.

Yes. Because all sanitizers are transparent. This follows from test requirements.

5. Does T2 satisfy C1? Explain.

No. Because we have only two test set elements that satisfy C2 but do not satisfy all TR1.

6. If T2 reveals the fault, T1 does not necessarily also reveal the fault. Explain.

Criteria subsumption is not about test sets subsumptions. So we could have T1 and T2, where T2 reveals the fault, but at the same time, T2 does not need to be subsumed in T1.

7. How well could we compare test criteria besides subsumption?

Fault detection ability. We could use an analytical and experimental approach. In the analytical approach, we have certain test criteria that could find certain types of faults. In the experimental approach, we introduce bugs on purpose. One example is the mutation. We then measure does test criteria find introduced bugs.

The number of tests needed to satisfy the criteria. More tests could mean more extensive coverage, but also could mean more expensive testing.
Getting started with Robot Framework + Selenium for automation testing (3) — Test with selenium library
By: Peng Zhang
Tags: Robot Framework, Software Testing, Automation Testing, Test Automation Framework, Test Automation

Last section we talked about some key components for Robot Framework and successfully ran our first test. However, like what I said at the end, we can perform web/mobile automation testing by equipping Robot Framework with some other libraries. As is known to many people, Selenium used to play a vital role in the world of automation testing (nowadays there are other options as well), and we can pretty much simulate all major user actions on web applications. Therefore, having selenium included as a standalone python library seems inevitable and indispensable.

We can install selenium library by using pip again: pip install robotframework-seleniumlibrary:

Now let’s create a new project called “GoogleTest”. As the name suggests, we will be performing our test on Google website this time:

Process That Generates Test Ideas From A Software Testing Taxonomy — Tentamen Software Testing Blog
By: Karlo Smid
Tags: Software Testing

CRUD Bug Taxonomy

TL;DR

In the last post, we tried to explain secret mind mapping mechanics that help us in software testing. Today we describe an example of a process that generates test ideas based on a CRUD bug taxonomy. The idea was from this excellent paper: Bug Taxonomies: Use Them to Generate Better Tests [Vijayaraghavan, Kaner]. Many thanks to Marcel, who sublimed this great resource on his blog, That’s the buffet table.

CRUD Bug Taxonomy

We will describe the process of generating test ideas from the CRUD bug taxonomy. CRUD is an acronym for Create, Retrieve, Update, and Delete an Object, and it is prevalent in any type of application that handles data.

Who

To have a successful test idea brainstorming session, the group should consist of Test Lead, Testers, and Recorder. The test lead should have done several brain sessions before. Testers could have junior testers. The recorder does not have to be a tester.

Test Lead is the session facilitator. Test lead presents System Under Test, bug taxonomy, and keeps the group focused during the session.

Testers are idea generators by asking What if questions. What if in the Create category for Invoice, the tester using curl enters attribute that Invoice does not support.

Recorder notes test ideas on paper or using an application. Each idea has to follow bug taxonomy categories. The above test idea should be noted under Invoice => Create => not supported attribute .

Timeboxed Session

This is an essential guideline in exploratory testing. Set that each session should be 30 minutes long. This helps the team to take a break and to keep the session focused on the bug taxonomy category.

The Process

Test lead sets bug taxonomy category and asks how System Under Test could fail for this category and starts the timer. Testers present their ideas unit time outs or test ideas are depleted.

Session Debrief

Tester audit existing test plan based on generated test ideas. They fill the test plan to fill the gaps.

The test lead is using test ideas and the process to train new testers in the team.

Testers could use this test ideas list to get familiar with the new application, or if they are stuck with generating new ideas, use this list as an example of how to generate test ideas.

Remember

This is an example of how exploratory testing is not ad hoc, but a structured process that helps us to generate test ideas in the context of the system under test.

Workshop: “Write better titles for test cases and bugs”
By: Alexey Sotskov
Tags: Software Testing, Workshop, Quality Assurance, Quality Assurance Testing, Test Engineer

Based on summer 2019 views and reads of an article I’ve made a presentation and took part on COMAQA Autumn’19 Piter conference with the same topic “Write test cases titles better!”:

Conference room was full of people — and many of them found those shared principles as very useful in daily practice.

In a year, in Autumn 2020 I coached several QA interns to teach them to write clean and useful titles for test cases and bugs. And I’ve noticed, that in about 2 hours of practice they started to notice weak pieces in their titles and started to write much-much better titles than I even expected!

Workshops

So, I thought about this everything and decided to try to make an online workshop. To let everyone who wants this, who needs this, who sees the value here, to have some practice with me and people who share the same understanding of value that simple and clear titles can give us in a long way on the project and career.

Workshop #1 — is about writing better titles. Workshop #2 — about better steps. Both of them applied to test cases and bugs.

These workshops are based on materials I’ve described in my articles like:

So, if you don’t have time or money or will to participate on workshops with me and our colleagues — then you can read these articles and try to practice writing better by yourself.

But if you have that everything, then I’ll be glad to meet you on my workshop!

E-Commerce Testing: Functional Test Cases for Online Stores
Tags: Test Case, Ecommerce, Website Testing, Software Testing

How to start an online store that drives sales?

There are 5 major functional requirements for e-commerce websites that define the winner of the market competition. The list involves speed, ease of use, accessibility, mobile-friendliness, and personalization.

Software testing allows assessing whether the product meets the quality criteria with each of these requirements — exactly what is required to maintain a seamless online shopping experience and win over conversion.

In this article, we’ll focus on functional testing of online stores and how to write functional test cases. It is a must-read for everyone who wants to verify that their software actually works.

What is functional testing?

Functional testing is a group of testing types whereby the product gets tested against the functional requirements. Its primary goal is to simulate the way customers will use the system and identify problems — such as missing functionality, UI errors, or integration issues — that could ruin the user experience. Non-functional testing, on the other hand, focuses on different software attributes like usability, performance, and security.

Generally, functional testing may involve particular challenges. First of all, it needs careful planning that would cover all the possible user journeys — even unusual or non-obvious ones. Next, there is always a large number of detailed tests to perform as they should cover a specific user flow in its entirety. Finally, test analysis. It is sometimes required to verify that actions on the frontend have triggered the correct result on the backend — like making sure that new orders reach the backend system when we test an online store.

Functional testing can be done manually or with automated test scripts. Test automation brings lots of benefits, including tests can be run 24/7 without human intervention and they don’t make errors — this means the whole process will be completed in a much shorter time. The QATestLab team of experienced testers and QA automation engineers help business with both approaches and guarantees the maximum quality for their software.

How to write functional test cases for e-commerce software

A test case is a set of preconditions, procedures (inputs or actions), and expected results used to determine whether a system works correctly. Test cases should have the following structure: a brief statement of purpose, description of precondition, actual test case inputs, expected outputs, description of expected postconditions, and execution history (date/person in charge/product version/pass or fail result).

Use our e-commerce software functional testing checklist to ensure the full coverage for the product:

How to write test cases for table in software testing?
Tags: Software Testing, Table Test Cases, Manual Testing, Testing, Test Case

In this post, we will learn how we can write test cases for the table. This is the most common question which can be asked during your software testing interview. We advise you to read these topics carefully. The interviewer always tries to test your basic knowledge, so it is better to understand these concepts. You can also read our post about how to write test cases for the chair.

Test Cases for Table

Check that the dimensions of the table are as per the specifications.

Check that the weight of the table is as per the specifications.

Verify that the table is foldable or not.

Check that the colour of the table is as per the specifications mentioned.

Verify that the table is able to hold the specific load or not.

Verify that the table material is brittle or not.

Check what happens to the table when you wash it with water.

Check how many legs are there in this table.

Verify that the legs of the table are level to the floor.

Check what type of material is used in making the table like wood, plastic etc.

Verify the type of the table like a household table, study table, office table etc.

Verify the shape of the table.

Check that does this table provide any rack or not.

Check that are there any supporting hands available in table or not.

Verify that the table is round or rectangular in shape.

These are some of the test cases for the table which you can write. If you have other test cases in your mind, do let us know in comments. This will help our readers to gain knowledge.

TL;DR

In this week’s reading club, we present you with an excellent example of how to use the Zendo board game to gamify the software testing learning experience. Gregory Paciga was not impressed with the Dice Game, so he adopted Zendo to make software testing more fun.

It was a Lean Coffee pre-conference session. A usual bait question pops up, How could I engage my team to get interested in software testing? I gave an example of how the Dice Game is used in the Rapid Software Testing Course. One of the participants was very firey about my advice (he was probably one of those who needs to get engaged in software testing). But gamification of learning experience could also be done in software testing.

Zendo and Dice Game are pattern-matching games. The skill that software testers require to help them recognize a pattern with several application variables. I would also like to add the Set card game to this toolset.

Dice Game

Your role several dices and should guess a rule which a result is a number. You say a number, and if you are wrong, you get the correct number for your role. Repeat until the rule is revealed.

Zendo

I am pleased that Gregory was not impressed with Dice Game, so he introduced Zendo to me. In Zendo, you are building a structure from blocks of different shapes and colors. You build a structure, trying to guess the rule.

The fun part is that number or structure rule consists of several variables. Some of them are not so obvious.

Remember

To do Domain Testing, you first need to identify all application variables. And that takes practice. For example, could you identify all variables for the role of five six-sided dices?

Need to test mobile app but not sure about setup?

I remember the time in 2014–15 it was like a night mare for a beginners like me to start automation of a mobile app. That time not enough sources were available to start with and do the setup and all.

But now that era gone and we have really amazing automation tools like TestProject which help us to start automating mobile App, web app and API just in few clicks and no setup required.

Very first line I would like to mention about this innovative solution is that it is absolutely FREE community product.

TestProject is the next Gen test automation platform which is built on top of Appium and Selenium to simplify the automation.

TL;DR

In the last post, we brainstorm test ideas without taxonomy on a real example, and then we analyzed the session report using SF DEPOT software testing taxonomy. The idea was from this excellent paper: Bug Taxonomies: Use Them to Generate Better Tests [Vijayaraghavan, Kaner]. We try to explain secret mind mapping mechanics that help us in software testing in today’s post. Many thanks to Marcel, who sublimed this great resource on his blog, That’s the buffet table.

Our Memory

Mind Maps were created in the late 60s by Tony Buzan. The initial idea was to help students creating lecture notes with only keywords and images. The idea proved that we can easier review and remember such notes due to their visual quality. Peter Russel joined Tony in teaching students how to effectively create mindmaps. Our memory is associative, not linear. Any idea in our brain has a great number of links to other topics and ideas. Mind Maps help us to create and reinforce such associations and links.

The Tool

To start with Mind Mapping for free, we suggest you try MindMup created by Gojko Adzic.

Software Testing Taxonomies

Mind maps are the perfect fit for taxonomies because taxonomies are highly branched collections with non-linear and associative categories and subcategories. It is easier to create a taxonomy, and by reviewing the mind map of taxonomy, we create more efficient failure modes for each category.

To refactor a mind map, we just move/edit/delete/add branches and subbranches. Bird view to whole Mind Map (zoom in/out) is an excellent feature that helps us with mind map refactoring.

Conclusion

Using mind maps, we could still miss important bugs, but doing retrospectives with mind mapped taxonomy is much easier and more effective.
