When I was in university I played football, not the English type, although I had played that all my life, but the American kind, with "offense" and "defense" and "special teams". I played defense and special teams, and both of them had what is known as a playbook (as does offense). This playbook had a list of plays that we would run in different scenarios depending on what the situation was or how risks averse we felt. The NFL season kicks off soon (next weekend in fact), and with this in mind, I was thinking this morning about how this can be used in testing, how we can have a playbook of different tests almost all depending on the situation that we as testers find ourselves. Just like in football we find that if we just use one "play" or one form of testing the likelihood of being successful is slim. We need to mix things up a bit and use a wide array of plays or testing techniques in order to score or stop the other team from scori...
