Talk Description

Lena Nyström joined us from Stockholm for a live demonstration of the Would Heu-risk It? cards and how to use them. Lena had the wonderful help of Karen Todd, Rachel Kibler and Dermot Canniffe.

Lena has been showing off the cards (available for sale in the MoT Merch shop) at a few TestBashes – in different shapes and forms. This time she will start off by briefly talking about the cards, the categories and some general ways you can use them. She will share some stories to make the audience understand the cards and categories on a deeper level and then she will be joined on stage by a few volunteers who will try their hands at one of the team building and learning games you can use them for: The Power of Three.

This exercise is great for anything from team building to teaching. By having to think of several interpretations you push your brain to go outside of what you instinctively go to. This is great both for learning better testing, better bug reporting but also building empathy and stop making assumptions.

By the end of this session, you'll be able to:

Overall purpose and categories of the "Would Heu-Risk It?" cards
Some real-life scenarios to deepen the understanding of the card categories
How to recognise the benefits of the cards by connecting them to your own professional context
Learn from other professionals' varied interpretations and application of the cards in their professional context
