I Didn't Know I Knew That: A Story of Self-Learning
During our testing careers, many of us are given the "opportunity" to test a system with which we have no experience-where the domain, the technology, or both are completely new to us. Rather than saying "Sorry, I can't do this job", perhaps you should embrace the opportunity, accept the challenge, and dive in! David Hayman shares the story of his journey testing a system that was new to him-establishing what he knew, what he thought he knew, what he didn't know and had to learn-and dealing with many surprises along the way. During his journey, David elicited the help of friends and colleagues, found surprising sources of information about the system, and discovered new inspiration and determination from within. His lessons learned illustrate an approach you can use to establish and develop new testing skills while working within the bounds of limited knowledge. David's experience taught him a lot about himself-and what some passion, trust, and ingenuity can do. Take back some for yourself!
