In this memory:
Emily O'Connor
Emily O’Connor’s talk at Leeds Testing Atelier was a great reminder that we’re not our customers and we shouldn't design or build as if we are.
She explored how small assumptions can quietly shape what we build without us realising. From the idea of an “average” user to the decisions hidden in everyday requirements, Emily showed how development teams can uncover these assumptions and ask better questions.
My main aim is to help software testers turn their vast knowledge and skills into bite-sized chunks suitable for the community to digest.
