G is for Goldilocks.

Too Big, Too Small, Just Right.

How might we test when things are too big, too small and just right? What information does it reveal?

Who would’ve thought a fairy tale could help trigger test ideas? :bear:

G is for gentle and gracious - how we hope people are when reporting bugs, finding their code has bugs, and debating how and when to fix them.

G is for getting / grokking users - a way in which a tester can be valuable is by really understanding how users use the system (rather than how product owners or developers think they should use the system).

G is for going off piste - as well as testing the system should be used (according to the user story etc.), what happens if someone does something unexpected?
