I liked it. I think that testers need to be keeping up with the latest techniques, technology, etc. just as much as developers. I also agree that it’s easy for testers to fall back on process and documentation since that is typically part of a QA/tester’s job.

The only statement in the blog with which I took issue was “Zombie testers will continue to look for bugs using the same heuristics, and they will continue to believe that they are being effective.”

I think I understand what you are saying – that those who continue to rely on the same heuristics without even considering other methodologies/techniques may be zombified. But I think that heuristics are “heuristics” for a reason – they’re reliable. Some “famous” testers even provide lists/mugs/etc. with common heuristics on them for handy reference. So I don’t think reliance on “the same old” heuristics is a bad thing in and of itself; only if the person is not opening their eyes to other methodologies.
