Re-thinking Manual Testing

[Phill Whiteside]

yup,

as soon as someone makes the time to explain all of this new area and
usage. IIRC, you are supposed to have PGP / GPG keys to commit? Yet another
step for people who can write a clear set of instructions to 'jump through
a further hoop'?

It still 'needs selling to me'. I'm one of the olde worlde fashioned
people, I'm sure I'm not the only one :)

Regards,

Phill.
