    Tip 8: Keep learning!

    Just like learning new programming languages makes you a better developer, learning about new testing approaches, libraries, and tools will make you a better tester.

    For instance, here's a few tools that you may not be using but are very cool: Heckle and RushCheck

    Finally, if you want to learn more, subscribe to Jay Field's blog - he has lots of good (if sometimes controversial) thoughts about testing.

    And with that, I'll wrap up this series on testing. If you have your own testing tips, please share them!
