If you’ve joined a new team or workplace (or maybe you've been on the same team for over 1 year), it can be very easy to get overwhelmed by a mountain of testing related issues and it can be hard to figure out which issues to tackle first, often leading to symptoms like:

  • “Not-wanting-to-be-there”-itis
  • “Testing-is-only-causing-more-problems”-ophobia
  • “I-don’t-know-where-to-begin”-osis

In this session, I’d like to propose a simple and easy to follow guide for how you can; discover a testing problem, implement and measure a solution in a way that doesn’t add stress to your existing workload, and create the most beneficial and measurable impact for you, your team and your organisation.

Based on experience, the likely outcomes of tackling problems in my proposed way are:

  • Improved team collaboration, processes, work life and mental health aka “I-love-it-here”-itis
  • Improved value from testing aka “We-appreciate-our-testers” syndrome
  • Reduced cost (of effort/time and potentially money) aka “Happy-team-and-managers”-ism

Note: This workshop is a live only event and will not be recorded.

What's Being Covered

After this event you should be able to do the following:

  • Explore the usefulness of active listening and rapport building
  • Identify and distill important pain points impacting your teams
  • Create simple action plans to implement solutions for your pain points
  • Investigate methods for measuring the impact of solutions and present the findings
