They’re starting to make sense though.  I actually just posted two heuristics I use to solve the “intractable” problem of knowing when to stop feature testing.  You can see them on the modest little blog I just launched, &lt;A HREF="http://www.testthisblog.com" REL="nofollow"&gt; www.testthisblog.com.&lt;/A&gt;.  I hope I can give tester bloggers back a fraction of what they’ve given me.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks for the great post!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Eric</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/414482498098790205/668260299574419782/comments/default/6237209934365595606'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/414482498098790205/668260299574419782/comments/default/6237209934365595606'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.questioningsoftware.com/2007/12/solving-intractable-problems.html?showComment=1196891220000#c6237209934365595606' title=''/><author><name>Eric Jacobson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08216361684596485033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.questioningsoftware.com/2007/12/solving-intractable-problems.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414482498098790205.post-668260299574419782' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/414482498098790205/posts/default/668260299574419782' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414482498098790205.post-821525881909455031</id><published>2007-12-05T05:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-12-05T05:52:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hi Ben,The book "Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of...</title><content type='html'>Hi Ben,&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The book "Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious" that you reference in you post sounds very much like another book that I read recently: "Blink - The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" by Malcolm Gladwell (http://www.amazon.com/Blink-Power-Thinking-Without/dp/0316010669/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1196858865&amp;sr=1-1)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You may want to check it out for further insights into intuitive thinking.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Cheers,&lt;BR/&gt;Martin</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/414482498098790205/668260299574419782/comments/default/821525881909455031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/414482498098790205/668260299574419782/comments/default/821525881909455031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.questioningsoftware.com/2007/12/solving-intractable-problems.html?showComment=1196859120000#c821525881909455031' title=''/><author><name>Martin Taylor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08038833521059737768</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.questioningsoftware.com/2007/12/solving-intractable-problems.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414482498098790205.post-668260299574419782' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/414482498098790205/posts/default/668260299574419782' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
