H is for Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Much like the table top game, some items consume more than others. Look under the hood, what resources are being used and what does that mean for your app and the end user experience?

H stands for Hope.

While in general hope is a good thing, evidence is a better foundation for making important decisions. These could be:

  • We should implement X next
  • Code Y is ready for release
  • Etc.

What’s the most cost-effective way of gathering evidence for this question? This could be a half hour chat with a colleague, reviewing a design document, automated testing, human-tester-in-the-loop testing, user testing a prototype etc.

H is for Humans and :heart:
All the humans who design, make and test the software (who can make mistakes, and deserve respect), and all the humans who use it (centre the user experience, consider all the diversity of user needs)

H is for the Hawthorne Works. Bell Telephones Hawthorne Works is important for quality because:

  • Control Charts were tested here on 1000 production lines a day. (Control Charts were the first tool for addressing quality failures without blaming the workers)

  • Quality gurus Walter Shewhart and Joseph Juran worked there

  • The “grandfather of quality” W. Edwards Deming was an intern there

  • The Hawthorne Experiments

  • The Hawthorne Effect

And Al Capones HQ was round the corner from the works!
