We have a talk on being a mindful and deliberate tester from TestBash New Zealand

Questions we didn’t get to

In relation to the mindfulness question, @jenniferheraty asked: Can you share a link to that course also? Or at least give source? Online or University?

  1. @jenniferheraty How do you handle the response “we don’t need to test that” when you start asking questions about a particular area of the software under test.
  2. @dila: Do you deal with self blaming, when you could not find risk earlier before release? I am asking, because I catch myself doing this often
  3. @deborahreid: How many risks should we be looking to define?
  4. @dila: what is the most interesting risk that you could avoided before release?
