One of the best things that has served me well over my career is not becoming married to what I produce. Yes, I put my all into the things I build, but if we need to throw it away for whatever reason, I'm ok with that.

Fail fast! But also know that failing fast is NOT about failing, it's about learning fast, getting feedback fast and applying the learning. Failing fast should not be at the cost of creative and critical thinking. It should not replace meaningfulness and thoughtfulness.

After spending years on projects and product development initiatives, I have come to realise that different thing can mean different to people; and that people are capable of interpreting things in ways that suit them. Agile is one of those things, sadly.

Once again: the only thing flaky about a so-called “flaky test” is someone’s dismissal of it as “flaky”. A “flaky test” is always evidence of some misconception about the product, the check code, the environment, and the relationships between them. Investigate and address that.

Remember, while we're busy solving bigger product problems, there are people who are busy giving feedback about the size and colour of fonts. (I used to work at one such place where management focused truly on line spacing and font rather than what the real problems were). :)

A big mistake that many of us make is diving straight into our inboxes at the beginning of our day. Plan your day first!

Excellent testing is : "an open investigation by skilled technical people." Not test cases, not verification, not validation, not confirming that something works as expected. But, an investigation, exploration, questioning, modelling, etc by skilled people.

I start every team connect including retrospectives with "Who do you want to thank?" This has changed the energy in those meetings. People love to give kudos to their colleagues.

When you try to confirm an assumption about the goodness of a product, you are likely to confirm it and miss an opportunity to uncover trouble. But when you try to disconfirm the assumption that it's a good product and you can't, you get some support for the assumption for free.

Yes; and development effort; and interpretation effort; and transfer effort (that is, explaining it to others); and environment/infrastructure effort. Does the value match those?
#21days21tips #Day10 @TheTestChat 1/ Any test automation solution will incur maintenance effort. This effort tends to be more for UI test automation. Contrary to the popular belief - Locator issues are NOT be the major reason for maintainance.

Going through some old code of mine that is adapted from old code from someone else and found this comment: "Taking this part out because I don't know what it does, and it breaks the program." #coding #academia
