Alternative Kanban (think outside the box) (re-post)

This post helps one to realize if their idea of kanban is stuck to something too specific.  And it gives new ideas for creating a new kind of kanban board.

Embrace your Inner Designer

I've always thought good design is an important skill for developers.  Sure, I know about design, and I still could use improvement.

Here's a blog post from my brother, which I found helpful:

There's a lot to learn from it.

Testing, "bugs cluster" and the "rumblestrip" heuristics

I thought this sounded like fault injection, and wondered if there might be a parallel in testing

Apparently, one rock band had a book of requirements for setting up their show.  If a seemingly silly requirement was missed, it was a signal that other things might be missed as well.  The requirement: a bowl of m&m’s with brown ones taken out.

I suppose in testing, if we notice one thing is missing, we can often suspect that other details may have been missed as well.  When we notice problems, we can/tend to think two things: that there are probably more bugs (they tend to cluster), and we should see how bad the bug we found can get.
