2. It is good to break the application during functional testing, load testing, installation testing, security testing or another testing type. It means that the defects are detected and will be corrected; the end-users will never face them.
3. Universal testing method or technique hasn’t been elaborated yet. Each project requires a custom solution.
4. One should create test cases for verifying how the system processes valid, invalid and boundary input data.
5. If the developers claim that a serious defect is a feature or minor problem, it is necessary to give solid reasons why the reported issue is a defect and its impact on the system. A good tester can prove his or her standpoints.
