I'm bringing a couple of new people onto my construction project as
electricians. They are not familiar at all with electrical work and they
aren't really certain what they should be doing, and how they should be
doing it. Does anyone know of a good summary/how-to for electricians to get
them started? I'm thinking of basic stuff like how to identify wires,
circuit breakers, and electrocution avoidance.

Sorry Erick... I couldn't resist poking a little fun at your expense. It's
not really fair of me because I don't know your specifics. It is simply
ironic to me that practices that are unacceptable (for good reason) in
almost all other established lines of business are too often encouraged in
our own.

Please take my light-hearted humor in fun! I simply meant to illuminate the
irony of hiring non-qualified testers. In all seriousness, I recommend
abandoning your plan to just bring new people onto your project and hire
qualified testers as it is presumed that you expect to receive some
reasonably proportionate value out of their employment. At the very least
hire college students (even a high school student) with some level of
software testing training. The quality of your software testing will be
directly reflected in the knowledge and experience of your testers.

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm bringing a couple of new people into a project as testers. They are
not familiar with testing at all, and aren't really sure what they
should be doing, and how they should be doing it. Does anyone know of a
good summary/how-to for testers? I'm thinking about basic stuff like
what you need to report, how to report it (high level - e.g., not
verbal), what is useful and what isn't, etc.

Thanks!

Erick
