After a long day of shopping, while me and my wallet were perspiring and thinking about testing, here’s what we feel:

Shopping considerations – function, fashion and price

The same goes for testing

Function – We need to be sure it does what it’s intended to do

Fashion – The design must feel right, sits well with the users

Price – The cost should justify the effort. Spending lots of effort on testing something trivial every release might not be wise

So next time when testing a feature, think of it as going shopping

P.S.

To make the response homogeneous, imagine a shopping day with the family than just yourself.. 🙂
