Locked
Talk Description
The debate explored the fundamentals of quality coaching, distinguishing it from quality engineering while highlighting their synergies.
Ben, Clare, Shweta and Aj discussed how quality coaching is people-focused, fostering growth, communication, and collaboration, whereas quality engineering emphasises technical processes, compliance and efficiency.
The conversation also explored the importance of stakeholder communication, feedback loops, and the role of coaching charters in guiding effective interactions.
Both perspectives underscored the shared goal of driving value for businesses and customers through structured methodologies and adaptable coaching strategies.
In examining where quality coaching works best, the discussion emphasised that it can be integrated at any stage of software development, provided there is team buy-in and leadership support. Challenges such as maintaining alignment across different teams, managing mental load, and ensuring open collaboration were also explored.
Ultimately, the debate reinforced that quality coaching benefits everyone in the development process—testers, engineers, product teams and leadership—by fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
