Risk or Fear: what drivers your testing....

Great meetup on what drives testing...

 https://www.meetup.com/ministry-of-testing-santa-barbara/events/284315114/

Details

Come join virtually and we'll meet, mingle and watch a recording of Jenna Charlton giving her session: Risk or Fear - What Drives Your Testing? together and after chat and discuss.

This session dives into using risk to approach test coverage:

What motivates your test coverage decisions? Fear or Risk?

Many teams are realizing after implementing a risk-based strategy, they continue to test from a place of fear as opposed to calculated risk. Others never reassess or renegotiate risk as their application matures. As the application under test matures, so must your strategy.
Key takeaways:

- Discernment: Test decisions, what is your real motivator?
- Embracing the concept, "What is good enough quality?"
- Reassessing risk by integrating new data
- How to overcome bias created by fear and previous failures

All are welcome, so lets come together and support and learn together!

My notes 

Treating QA as a optimization not a gate keeper 

Value add w/o fear 

Testing as an empathy exercise 

Watch devs work 

Have devs watch QA work 

What are people scared of because of change? 

Pat on the head QA 

Get my Team to think in this way….

Scoring risk ties into Agile 

Quantify risk 

Show me the math 

History of issues 

Complexity 

What did we learn? From re-evaluating risk 

What test cases have what level of risk ? 

Automation is something that should have low risk 

Understanding where the risk is and focusing efforts gives QA back time to focus on high impact work 

How to apply human capital 

Good enough is OK… 

Done is the goal; perfection is a myth 

How are re looking at risk 

Every 3 months 

Automate the repeatable 

People solve problems
