@studay broke out the Lego, give the man a star!
The picture is my view on quality. Quality of design? Maybe not Quality of build? It was certainly "good enough". Where I judged quality was the ability to roll back the quality of time I spent on it and the quality of creativity it induced. All round the room people had their own equally valid creations but I was genuinely pleased when I found the plane tail so I could make the Shark car. So quality of the time spent was definitely if value to me!

With 20+ years in software testing, I’ve worked across waterfall, agile and everything between - occasionally following the recognised methodology!
Mostly I've focussed on aiming to do the best I can with regards to delivering quality software whilst wearing whatever "hat" best helps do that, whether that is to be scrum-master; analyst or tester all with a view on embedding quality in the delivery.
