Pokayoke is infact a simple concept which explains the use of simple mechanisms that stop mistakes being made by manufacturing operators without requiring concentration by the operators. The term “PokaYoke” was popularised by Shigeo Shingo through his book “Zero Quality Control: Source Inspection and the PokaYoke System”. Shingo points out that mistakes will always be made, but if PokaYoke’s are implemented then mistakes can be prevented from becoming defects. By eliminating...

This indeed is a good way of making sure most of the test combinations are at least tested once. I just want to know a bit more on the subject. Following are a few articles on the net on this subject: http://www.wipro.com/insigh...
(I came across the following write-up on a discussion thread in one of the testing forums and am posting it here. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the original contributor of the following piece) The primary difference:Efficiency - productivity metric and Effectiveness - quality metric! Efficiency is a productivity metrics meaning how fast one can do something. Hence Testing efficiency metric can be "No. of test cases executed per hour or per person day". This explains how efficient (i.e. fast)...
Inevitably, it seems the first blog is about personal trivia and so here I go:-). A Google search brought me in here and thanks to Jeff Julian of Geekswithblogs.net who has set this up for me and so, I thought, let’s get startedJ. I am into the software testing domain. An engineering graduate, I started my professional career with a small Dot Com startup in 2000, later I worked with two more organization until my present employer. Have worked on component support and software testing domain...
