7. 1.1 Why do we need to use Mind Map for testing? Beginner testers face difficulty to create test cases and other materials for testing. Mind Map can be solution to create test cases for beginner testers. ・・・ Help!!!

8. 1.2 Comparison between beginner testers and expert testers thinking Specification Test cases Just copies from the specification Specification Test cases Think and covert from the specification to test cases Specification Test cases Think and covert from the specification to test cases Beginner Expert Beginner … !! !!!

9. 1.2 Then, we can say “Beginner testers plus Mind Map nearly equals to Expert testers!” Beginner testers ＋ ≒ Mind Map Expert testers
