Mind Map: Tools for Testers

By Prashant Hegde | Dec 1, 2015December 27, 2017 | Test Methods & Metrics

With this edition of LogiGear Magazine, we introduce a new feature, Mind Map.

A mind map is a diagram, usually devoted to a single concept, used to visually organize related information, often in a hierarchical or interconnected, web-like fashion.

This edition’s mind map, created by Sudhamshu Rao, focuses on tools that are available to help you in your testing.

The original map, as well as its downloadable source code (which can be managed in a mind-mapping application, such as XMind), is available from TestInsane.com.

Book Review of the Domain Testing Workbook

The Testing Domain Workbook is the most extensive and exhaustive work you will ever find on a specific testing technique (or related techniques if you include equivalence class analysis and boundary testing as the book does).
