THREE COMPONENTS OF JOB MARKET/INTERVIEW SUCCESS
1. Test planning = test cases
2. Bug reporting 
3. Talking about the projects (Project = Experience)


WHY DO WE TALK ABOUT UI TESTING  & USABILITY AT ALL??? 	
* UI vs GUI, Command line user interface
1. You start reporting bugs from the day 1 = make a good impression = helps to keep the job
2. Few people have an idea of UI rules = you bring an expertise, which does not exist there
3. Easy to pick up


Developers test their code. What software testers are needed for?
* white vs black (user centered) box testing
- Regression testing
- Negative testing
- Testers are looking at a bigger picture


EXPLORATORY TESTING
Exploratory:
	- plan
		- execute
			- learn

Ad Hoc:            ========================NEVER call it monkey testing
	- plan
	- execute
	- learn

AUT - application under test

Gray Box Testing:
- extention of black box testing
- some extra knowledge is needed
- a lot/most of the web testing is gray box
- tools/programming languages will be used
	- Ex.1: Write and execute SQL statement against the database to validate the data integrity
	- Ex.2: Analyzing/Parsing log files 
	- Ex.3: REST API (Web Services) Testing with Postman

What are the common stages of Software Development Life Cycle? - waterfall model
- analysis   (business reqs, use cases)
- requirements (product, functional)
- design (architecture)
- coding/development/implementation
- testing
- maintenance
