Welcome to Day 27 of the 30 Days of TestBash challenge! 
In the talk, “Debugging the Mind: Teaching Developers to Think Like Testers,” @kato shares how testers can help developers adopt a tester’s mindset to build better quality into their work.
Kat emphasises that by teaching developers to think critically and consider edge cases, testers can strengthen the team’s approach to quality.
Today’s task invites you to reflect on how you can encourage developers to think more like testers.
Task Steps
-
Reflect on your approach: Think about recent collaborations with developers. Have you shared how to think like a tester with your developers? For example, have you demonstrated how you approach testing challenges or how to explore edge cases in their code? If you haven’t, what could you do to help them develop a tester’s mindset?
-
Share your thoughts: Reply to this post and share an example of how you’ve helped developers think like testers, or how you might approach it in the future.
Bonus step: Set up a pairing session with a developer this week and explore a bug or a test case together.
