Heuristics image
  • Lena Nyström's profile
In software testing, heuristics are like mental models or shortcuts that we as testers use to guide our work. I like to think of heuristics as strategies that help me generate new ideas on what to test and how to test it especially when I run out of ideas myself. Heuristics are particularly useful when it comes to doing exploratory testing because they give us a guideline on what to explore next. 
Test ideas image
  • Dan Ashby's profile
A test idea is more about the general thought of what to test in a software. They are often generic and it involves looking at the wider picture.
