Game: "Would Heu-Risk It?"

This is an amazing series of over 30 articles about risk analysis, heuristics and patterns in software testing, based on a card game created by Lena Pejgan Wiberg.

On a side note, I've been patiently waiting for 4 months for the whole series to come to an end — just to be able to finally include it here (as otherwise I'd need to spam you with several of them every week)! One can only imagine how much dedication and consistency it required. I highly recommend you to check it out, as there's a lot to learn about software testing related things in a fun and insightful way!

Don't "check" or "verify" in your tests

I must admit I'm guilty of creating assertion wrappers in the form of vague methods like verifyResponse();. Why is it not good and how can it be improved? Gregory Paciga shares a good piece of advice on that.
