Abstract :
Attention is given to methods discovered by the author that allow a person with extensive knowledge of the software and systems development process to apply his/her experience effectively to the task of final systems testing. The paradigms of the paranoid auditor, suicidal test pilot, new operator and designated fool are described. It is concluded that, with the appropriate mental image, final system testing is much more effective
