Having had met Pradeep and Shrini at Test2008 conference, I wanted to externalize a small extract from our conversations.
Firstly, I would say the readers of their blogs are lucky for getting the insights and influential thoughts so really needed to ensure value to the customers.
I had a quick overview from Shrini on the schools of thought in testing. I never knew the concept of Schools of thought in Testing, but having looked at the principles stated in http://www.context-driven-testing.com/, it made a lot of sense as to what I have been thinking/living all the time, and for a good thinker the word 'context' itself explains all about it.
I liked the way how Pradeep has explained the term "bug free software" -> software delivered with free bugs:-) I think there is a post on this topic in his blog too that I visited yesterday.
Overall, It brings me in to a deep introspection, as well as do some serious planning around how we can perform value-assurance (a synonym I use for the word 'testing') to testers through TestersDesk.com. Obviously, a testing product itself cannot have bugs and needs to serve as an example for having reasonable quality and deliver the value to testers. We exist to exploit technology in whatever ways possible, basically offloading the mundane tasks of a typical test engineer, and have now got more careful at what we build.
I am posting this to highlight the fact that it was an intellectually stimulating hour talking to Pradeep and Shrini, and I thank Pradeep for nominating TestersDesk.com for the Thought Leadership Award at Test2008.
