Test Heuristics Cheat Sheet
One of my team members was talking about test heuristics after attending the CAST 2011 conference. I went looking for Elisabeth Hendrickson’s excellent 2 page PDF entitled "Test Heuristics Cheat Sheet" and discovered the link I had not longer worked. A quick search revealed the current location is http://testobsessed.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/testheuristicscheatsheetv1.pdf.
This sheet is divided into the following sections:
- Data Type Attacks
- Paths/Files
- Time and Date
- Numbers
- Strings
- General
- Web Tests
- Navigation
- Input
- Syntax
- Preferences
- Testing Wisdom
- Heuristics
- Variable Analysis
- Touch Points
- Boundaries
- Goldilocks
- … and many more
- Frameworks
- Judgment
- Observations
- Flow
- Requirements
- Nouns & Verbs
- Demings Cycle
I used to keep this pinned to wall above my desk. I should do it again. Recommended.
