- Interesting. Where can we learn more about it? Also, could you
- describe the method's weaknesses? What important topics does it fail
- to address? What things do you wish it did better? What did your
- experience with applying it (bravo!) cause you to change or wish you
- could change?
-
- I ask these questions because I find the best way to evaluate a
- technique is to explore where it doesn't work and why. I confess it's
- also a quick reality check - I've asked this of presenters who could
- not think of *anything* wrong with their technique. In a world
- overfull of ideas, those people can be safely ignored.

- (On request, I will provide such a list for my own approach to
- testing.)
