Quest for latest Testing Knowledge

Now a day’s lots of developments are happening in QA/Software Testing. As a software tester, I always look for the new ideas/education.

Today I came across one very interesting blog of Cem Kaner Updating some core concepts in software testing. This post reminds me of my academic education years. Things like the way we write the academic examinations. We take theory classes and teacher explains us different approaches, theory behind the subject and solutions to the predefined problems. We then answer the examination. Key point to notice here, we answer the exam, the way we have been trained.It seems we are still repeating the same Learn & Apply pattern in Testing/QA field. We get the concepts from Testing Books or organization's defined process(s) and follow the same on testing assignments. I haven't seen a change in these things. They are followed as it is as defined by great testing Guru's like Cem Kamer/James Bach or based on inputs from few experienced testers of your organization.

I am just wondering what new development is going on this area...Any improvement on foundation of software testing.
