Testing Wisdoms to Expand Our Horizons
To expand our horizons in testing, we should ask ourselves the following questions:
- What did we learn from the history of testing?
- What did we miss and what did we forget?
- How can we do better testing in the future?
Therefore, in this interactive tutorial we will identify, discover, investigate, reflect, and discuss testing wisdoms from different categories to answer these questions and to expand our horizons – you are invited to bring your own top 3 testing wisdoms (I will bring my top n) and share them with your peers in this tutorial!
Max. number of participants: 50
Target Audience: Test Architects, Test Engineers, Software-Architects, Developers, Product Owners, Quality Managers
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge about testing and quality engineering
Level: Advanced
Extended Abstract:
Effective and efficient software and system development requires superior test approaches in place and a strong commitment to quality in the whole team. To realize the right mix of test methods and quality measures is no easy task in real project life due to increasing demand for reliability of systems, cost efficiency, and market needs on speed, flexibility, and sustainability.
To address these challenges and to expand our horizons in testing, we should ask ourselves the following questions:
- What did we learn from the history of testing?
- What did we miss and what did we forget?
- How can we do better testing in the future?
Therefore, in this interactive tutorial we will identify, discover, investigate, reflect, and discuss testing wisdoms from different categories (techniques, people, history) to answer these questions and at the same time to expand our horizons – you are invited to bring your own top 3 testing wisdoms (I will bring my top n) and share them with your peers in this tutorial!
Projected learning outcomes and lessons learned
- Get familiar with testing wisdoms – known and unknown, old and new.
- Learn and share experiences on how to discover and adopt testing wisdoms.
- Apply discussed testing wisdoms to improve your test approaches in the future!
