Error: ‘Quality’ is Not Defined
What
MasterclassDescription
Last summer, I became test owner of one of my company's major products. It quickly became clear to me that we didn’t understand the product’s current or desired quality; in fact, there wasn’t even a clear understanding of what "quality" was! This was causing a severe case of bug ping-pong, disgruntled engineers who worried we weren’t fixing problem areas, and time wasted perfecting things that didn’t need to be perfect. Without resolving this, I knew I could not be successful in my new role.
So, my journey began: I needed to characterise what quality meant for our product and communicate the difference between where it was and where we wanted it to be. Ultimately, I needed the team to align on what quality meant for us.
In this masterclass, I will share the challenges and successes of this journey. I will cover how:
- I started a productive conversation about quality (with the right people!).
- We reached an agreed definition of quality, despite its ambiguity.
- We defined concrete measures for quality and implemented these to get team buy-in.
I aim to inspire testers to think about whether their teams really understand what quality means for their products, and to share ideas for how they can improve this.
