Stale Documentation image
  • Nataliia Burmei's profile image
Documentation that was accurate at the time of writing but has since become outdated due to changes in the system, codebase, or process it describes. In testing, stale documentation is a significant risk because teams may test against expectations that no longer reflect actual system behaviour. Documentation stored in tools like Confluence is particularly vulnerable to going stale when it is disconnected from the development workflow and not actively maintained alongside code changes. The problem is often not that documentation was never written, but that there is no mechanism to keep it current.
Self-Serve Testing image
  • Nataliia Burmei's profile image
An approach to quality in which teams without dedicated quality engineers are equipped with the knowledge, templates, and tooling to make sound testing decisions independently. Rather than requiring a specialist to be present for every significant project or incident, self-serve testing relies on well-designed prompts, charter libraries, and structured guidance that carry quality thinking into conversations and contexts where a quality engineer is not physically present. It is particularly relevant in organisations where quality engineers are significantly outnumbered by delivery teams.
