YouTube Short: Testers are like headlights

Ahoy!

My latest video is out, a short where I compare software testers to headlights in a car.

Do you agree?
Disagree?
Used the comparison before (as I didn’t come up with this)?

Let me know your thoughts below :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I think I heard @anne-marie used this same analogy

A nice one! I agree on that.

I’ve heard it in various places, too; Michael Bolton talk, and poking about Ingo Philipp used it in TTwT with regards to storytelling. I also know I’ve seen a little cartoon of a car somewhere with this example but I cannot find it.

The RST notes use the example as “testers light the way” - seeing things for what they are and making informed decisions about quality possible.

Where it came from I have absolutely no idea, but it’s a pretty neat concept.
