I candefinately feel the difference myself. I like the generative tests much better - they arepart of the creative process. I find elaborativetests much harder to write. This is probablybecause I lack some of the QA skills you were talking about in your Article about test pairing with developers.It sounds like that would be an excellent learningexperience. I think it would be great to spend,say, 1-2 hours a week pair testing. I am thinking it would be good to keep the pairtesting times short. This would allow forcross-training, but also require that eachindividual go back and implement that training alone. Longer times pairing might end up with each sidedependant on the other for ideas."
