What actions cost time & expertise?!

1) Understand the whole application or module in depth before starting the testing.
2) Prepare good test cases before start to test
3) Create sufficient test data before tests, this data set include the test case conditions and also the database records if you are going to test DB related application.
4) Perform repeated tests with different test environment. Report results.
5) Try to find out the result pattern and then compare your results with those patterns.
6) Evaluate test data pattern to analyse the current set of tests. Reproduce all bug-patterns.
