To see whether a change in the code has affected other existing features, we need to perform #regressiontesting. But how do you make time for another test cycle? For Shuja Naqvi, it meant getting involved earlier in the SDLC:

A good tester is a problem finder as well as a problem solver. Nicholas Snogren explains how finding bugs requires exploratory testing superpowers, like X-ray vision:

After a developer fixes some code, does the responsibility for retesting belong to the dev or the tester? And if the bug is no longer there, how do you classify and close it? Read and weigh in:

Risk-based testing helps us handle our limited resources by prioritizing risks. Here are some practical tips, examples, and steps you can use to adopt risk-based testing:
