All things are difficult before they are easy
I think, in an effort to understand the philosophies of testing and how best we can get things going, If we can list down the top issues we face and try to find some patterns for them , it would be a good start.
I will begin with starting to think aloud on various topic areas where testers find testing hard. Let’s list the questions first and then have the community or Guruji answer them.
