I posted a question to an agile testing group and one of the replies implied that if we were doing agile correctly, I wouldn’t face the problem that I asked about.
The mildly holier-than-thou tone of the reply really sounded familiar to me–I realized that I often have the same attitude. But now I see that such self-righteousness doesn’t do anyone any good. If someone hasn’t already gotten the message through preaching, more of it really isn’t going to help. I will monitor my own responses better in the future.
