After I visited Kaner site at the end of 2007 (the jobless time), I got an idea to categorize
them all one day. And it's time these days. I started collect the "high-light" articles since last week and the last small piece will be done today, Sunday. It will be a tool to help me to access these slides easier later, and I hope it would be interesting for you too, my dear testing friends.
To get
ALL pdf files of Kaner's article, just
come here to download it,
one 81M-zip file.
(Here is the latest one in his site when I downloaded ALL of them on 2008-10-30
