The Essence of Heuristics in Software Testing Methods ?

[lokeshm]

Heuristics experience-based techniques and strategies used to solve problems, to learn new concepts, to make a decision.
Heuristics give structure to your testing skill by assessing your skill under pressure.
The essence of heuristics is to make skilled people more productive and reliable.

[Sandhya.Kishannag]

A heuristic is a fallible method of solving a problem or making a decision.Heuristic-based testing may not give us concrete answers, but it can guide us to the important things to test.To use heuristics in testing, create a list of open-ended questions and guidelines. This will not be a pass/fail list of test criteria.Instead it can be used to guide your test scripting and exploration for bugs.
