Mind the Gap (in your thinking) - My day at the British Computing Society in London
Create Memory
On Thursday 19th June, the British Computing Society (BCS) held their annual conference in London for the "Special Interest Group in Software Testing" (SIGiST).
This year I spoke at the conference, reminding the audience once again that you are not your customer. I use having Aphantasia (the inability to visualise) as a tool to question the assumptions that people might make about how we build products and what those products will look like.
While I was there, I had some fantastic conversations with people about their approach to requirements analysis, constructing test plans and asking questions to call out assumptions.
I have a sixth sense for bugs, probably due to my experience as a dev (introducing them)! I love to learn and read. Playwright fan-girl.

It was an excellent talk.
Cool to see this photo montage.
