Open source test tools

Here's a website I should have known about. I thought you might want to know, too: http://www.opensourcetesting.com/
Playing with JMeter as I write this.

diagnosis and exploration

If your coders accept all the problems your testers find - including the intermittent, non-reproducible ones - then they need diagnostic skills.

If not, your testers need diagnostic skills to make the bug more easily reproducible

Who's teaching / writing about diagnostic skills? How are they characteristically different from analysis skills?

Just a thought...

I've got plenty of half-baked ideas, and I spend hours each week trying to write. It's time I joined the blogosphere, and made something useful of all this gubbins.
