Make the hidden relationships in software testing visible, instead of treating test cases, requirements and automation as isolated topics.

Core topics

Requirement categories, DTAP, priority, tacit versus explicit knowledge, structured chaos, connected test techniques and re-testing complexity.

How to share

Use direct URLs with a value parameter, for example ?value=requirement, ?value=dtap or ?value=connectedtesttechniques.
