How to build a testing function from scratch

On LinkedIn @melissafisher asked:

A testing friend of mine reached out asking about any advice/words of wisdom on how to build a testing function from scratch. What would your advice / words of wisdom be? I will refer my friend to this post when I catch up with them next week, along with a few thoughts like I absolutely know they can do this :smile: thank you!

It’s a great topic and question and thought it would be valuable to discuss here too.

I wrote some thoughts on my blog: Build a QE/Test function from scratch | by Melissa Fisher | Aug, 2024 | Medium

Maybe you could mention 1 or 2 of your key points from that link here, and hopefully someone knowledgeable can comment

Not me having YET ANOTHER blog post to help out on this topic :joy:

My words of wisdom are to LISTEN initially to see where people are and their pain points around quality. Make people feel heard and show them that testing is here to support them (not tell them off).
