Core Lessons From a Year of Mob Testing

Exploratory testing is an intensive learning style of testing. It’s time to amp up our skills by learning from one another by learning in a mob! 

With mob testing, the whole group works on the same thing, at the same time, in the same space, and at the same computer. Using a specific communication style called strong-style pairing that connects a group of brilliant minds on a shared experience. Facilitated by an expert, it makes a great mechanism for building habits and transferring skills over passing knowledge. 

This talk shares Maaret's core lessons from over a year of mob testing, both as a participant and a facilitator. It gives you guidance on how to get started, why it's a good idea, how to avoid the common pitfalls and how to create varied experiences of testing beyond the first day of mobbing.
