How do I improve my Test Idea generation ability?

Question

I have always tried to improve my test coverage as a black-box tester. Still, I believe that I need to improve my ability to generate practical and highly-usable ideas to test better so that I find serious bugs easily.

What are some models, theories, heuristics that have really helped you to find any kind of bug in any web-application. Kindly share some black-box testing heuristics for an enterprise web application.

IMHO better way than adding yet another partial answer would be to close this one and add a link to most highly rated previous question/answer. — Peter M. - stands for Monica, Feb 08 '16 at 13:49

This question has been asked many times before on this forum. So you should try to research a bit before adding this question.

Take a look at

Here where there is a list of good thinking tools and techniques mentioned for improving your practical thinking ability.
You can start by reading the number of books mentioned here
You can also follow many of the points mentioned here

However, as I have mentioned here, doing proper analysis and research, is the best tool for a tester, something which you seemed to have missed here (not a rant in any way).
