Create Memory
Costa Giannakopoulos introduced the term and concept of subcutaneous testing, an approach that sits just beneath the UI layer to test application logic directly.

My main aim is to help software testers turn their vast knowledge and skills into bite-sized chunks suitable for the community to digest.
