A few others are almost close. For example:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Most bugs occur at boundaries - no, &lt;I&gt;some&lt;/I&gt; bugs occur at boundaries.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Good manual testing can be replaced by automation - no, &lt;I&gt;some&lt;/I&gt; manual testing may be replaced by automation.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Testers need to have development skills - no, &lt;I&gt;some&lt;/I&gt; testers on your team should probably have development skills - more importantly, a good portion of your test team should have some deep technical knowledge of the technology they are testing. If your product is an operating system or a development environment, you should probably have a lot of testers who know how to program. If your product is a bank teller UI, you should probably have some portion of the test team who deeply understand banking.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Uggh - folklore like this almost makes me embarrassed to be a tester.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/414482498098790205/6634995968363574238/comments/default/1689438434409003112'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/414482498098790205/6634995968363574238/comments/default/1689438434409003112'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.questioningsoftware.com/2007/08/things-we-know.html?showComment=1186677960000#c1689438434409003112' title=''/><author><name>Alan</name><uri>http://blogs.msdn.com/alanpa</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.questioningsoftware.com/2007/08/things-we-know.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414482498098790205.post-6634995968363574238' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/414482498098790205/posts/default/6634995968363574238' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1864009907'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414482498098790205.post-9131349977012975216</id><published>2007-08-08T18:32:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-08-08T18:32:00.000-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Since i have subscribe your blog i am enjoying eve...</title><content type='html'>Since i have subscribe your blog i am enjoying every single bit of it.
