1. Huh?
   1. Mnemonics are designed to be an accessible recall method for patterns
      1. Commonly used in schools to teach basic concepts such as numeracy, literacy and story telling
         1. They might be an acronym, picture or even a song, anything that triggers recall!
2. Really?
   1. Thats great but how do they help us test?
      1. Lightweight, repeatable test strategy tools, without the need for big documentation (most of the time)
         1. A check for thinking coverage - prompting a tester or team to consider testing as multifaceted!
3. So?
   1. So how is that helpful?
      1. We, as testers, or team can quickly and visibly brainstorm ideas for test strategy for a given system under test.
         1. If you need to cover a system in test ideas, it raises your thinking above the low level functions of a system under test.
