Sensitivity and awareness
Being sensitive and aware to the causes of errors is useful in doing SmartQA and delivering clean code.
Multidimensional thinking
Yesterday a good friend of mine told me about his recent conversation with a senior engineering manager in a product dev org.
Pause to speed up
Before you test, pause; ask what are you testing, for-what and for-where(environment).
Five thoughts on doing SmartQA
What does it take to do SmartQA? How can I do less and accomplish more? What parts of this are human-powered & machine-assisted?
A state of brilliant balance
It takes a brilliant mindset, intelligent exploration, diligent evaluation, keen observational skills
See better, cover more, test less
A good ‘world view’ enables us to ensure great coverage in testing. Is coverage limited to execution only or does it allow us to see better?
Brilliant engineering
Is testing a mere act of uncovering bugs? I think not. It is really a mindset to clarify a thought.
Minimalism
I have always practiced minimalism, of doing least work with superior outcomes. Have never been a fan of more tests and therefore needing to tools to accomplish these in the context of software.
Doctors & diagnosis
In today’s medicine, we know that machines play a huge part in diagnostics and treatment.
