Risk: something might happen that causes harm to some person or persons, based on a vulnerability in the system that is triggered by some threat.
What do you see right or wrong, helpful or not so helpful, in that definition?
Are you a tester? If s…
I've noticed that whenever I've asked someone the question that I asked above, I've always g0t an assertion that the tool was useful, but I've never, ever got an answer to the question. I should start forecasting that.

We'd like to be helpful, but your questions cannot be answered helpfully without help from you: what's the actual problem that you're trying t…
The difference between the three is what some person says is the difference between the three. I can guarantee that these terms will mean different things to different people. For you, the only "correct" answer is the answer that the "rough online t…
It's been several days without an answer. I suspect that if you don't explain what "T & M mode" means, you're not likely to get one.
People are anxious to help, I'm sure, but they're usually less keen to guess at your context.

What if we viewed the very concept of test cases as misleading and unhelpful?

Ajay Balamurugadas said… - my investigation.txtHi Micheal,
Why do some people expect their questions to be answered in forums?
Here, I'm referring to questions whose answers can be known with some investigation.

I have attached my investigation results on this question to you.
Regards,
Ajay

What do you do to get around them?" and start a fresh discussion here?
