As tester’s our job is to identify risks in the AUT,
Come hell or high water we have to get the job done
Wrote an article for #StickyMinds on the subject.If a feature is impossible to test from the outside, it surely can be done through fault injection
All you need is determination to get the job done.

A message from Bill Gates for folks from all walks of life
Then why do testers working in tech shy away?
Coding is like learning any other skill
You don’t have to be extraordinarily intelligent or gifted
Half of coding is about understanding a problem and thinking of a how to solve it

– Always prioritize people over process. People are far more valuable than any process implementation. Don’t loose them.
– Management always wants to make decisions based on numbers, learn to give estimates.
– Don’t stop learning, try new stuff all the time. Also every problem you face is not unique. There are surely other people out there who have solved this before.
More to come in future posts.

The #TestingGuild2018 conference just kicked off – 100% online filled with testing Awesomeness organized by Joe Colantonio.
Tomorrow at the conference I’ll be sharing a story illustrating the importance for testers to be technical.
In the #TestingGuild2018 conference I’ll be talking about how beneficial it can be to test your product across the complete technology stack.
Teaser of the presentation:
15+ years of coding experience, two dozen testing tools?
While there are a lot of opinions on the subject, I try to go for the essentials
1. Algorithm design aptitude. If our framework is in Java, I’m not focusing on Java developers only. If the candidate can demonstrate reasonable algorithm designing skills, that’s enough for me.
2. Testing Acumen. Not just fundamentals of software testing memorized word for word, rather have the technical depth on various topics around software testing and depth on the topic.
3. And the most important piece, the right attitude. The skills mentioned above can be acquired, but without the right attitude, it’s just impossible. Down the road you’ll have to let go of that person, period.

The Journey of a technical tester
Story of a hypothetical tester learning over his career to become more tech savvy and improving his craft
The first “story-presentation” I did for a conference, #PSQC2018
The presentation illustrates some fundamentals testers can learn over the years and the reasons why it’s important to learn these lessons
With a touch of humor, few core concepts related to the technology stack are explained as well.
The complete presentation can be seen here:
While testing in any shape or form is certainly adding value, but getting the most out of it is something entirely different
More than often I’ve seen teams having no idea where to focus testing on
In the #TestingGuild2018 conference I’ll be presenting a story talking about this subject
How to figure out what’s most important for the product and focus there first
Why we need to prioritize?
One answer would be: 80/20 rule..
(in our context) 80% results come from 20% effort, find that 20%
Teaser of the presentation here:
“Just because something works, doesn’t mean it can’t be improved”
And improve we must
Automation frameworks in an extremely volatile environment
Unless you keep up with the change, big problems are in store
