''A word to the wise is infuriating.''  Hunter S Thompson  OK, for the three of you that read this I have been absent for a while due to never ending project pressures and futile attempts to buy a house at the moment (All things I had put off till after Agile 2009) This post is (unfortunately) a bit on the short side, and really just ...

Before I start delving into how the new bug model works, it's worth taking some time to describe what came before it. Almost by coincidence, each of the three major versions of Scrum for Team System have had a different ...

I cannot stress how crucial it is for a Tester to have an understanding of the architectures and underlying cohesiveness of the system and this can  be understood from Project Documentation.
