Ever wondered about the hidden efforts behind flawless software? Testers invest significant time in practice and preparation before uncovering elusive defects buried within lines of code. I'm curious: What's your approach to project preparation for testing? Whether it's a methodology, a process, or your personal ritual, how do you align your focus and mindset with the project's objectives? #testing #testingautomation #engineering #leadership #testerslife

How will a conversation look between testers and developers if we start asking for unit test results before merging their code into main branch to start testing. Most of the time we will end up saying "Okay, Just Go!!" #fridayfun ------------------- I write regularly on Testing| Leadership | Automation | Engineering.

Here's an uncomfortable truth: it's time for QA teams to redefine their value proposition. Here's the opportunity: rebranding QA as a driver of innovation and efficiency, shedding the outdated image of being, at best, a costly but necessary function and, at worst, a bottleneck. The strategy? In addition to tracking traditional QA metrics such as the number of tests executed, bugs identified, and test coverage, QA teams should measure their impact by highlighting increased test automation and the resulting cost savings, their role in accelerating release cycles, and how these initiatives lead to more efficient resource allocation. The goal is to ensure that a quantifiable return on investment backs each QA initiative. By adopting this strategy, QA teams can more effectively showcase their value to leadership, shifting their perception from gatekeepers to being recognized as drivers of progress and innovation.

🎄 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽: 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟯: 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 😱 Does your team dread releases? 😰 Are complex manual steps and simultaneous component deployments causing anxiety? These are all signs that your team might be significantly under-investing in release engineering. Not investing in release engineering can lead to high failure rates, high cost of releases and encourages your team to become risk averse. The key approach to making releases a non-event is through Continuous Delivery (CD). To alleviate these issues, Continuous Delivery offers a solution, but it's not without its challenges. What's worse than manually shipping unstable and buggy code every once in a while? Shipping it very often. 🤦♀️ In order to reap the benefits of CD you need to take a radically different approach to how you develop software. Among other things you will need to invest in the following: - Implement effective monitoring and alerting systems - Achieve a high degree of test automation and coverage - Embrace Continuous Integration (CI) and short lived branches - Adopt the discipline of working in small batches end-to-end - Build full automation - Implement fast rollback mechanisms Above all these: you'll need to build a different culture in your team, a culture where they can take ownership of embracing new approaches with calculated risks. Are you practicing CD in a highly effective way in your team? How did you get there? Share your journey to effective CD practices in the comments. --- 🔔 Enjoy the Advent of Engineering Leadership? Follow me to make sure you won't miss any of the remaining posts! 🎅🏼 #engineeringleadership #continuousdelivery #continuousdeployment #continuousintegration

The best way to avoid organizational problems between testers and developers is to put them under the same administrative unit. This would emphasize their common goals and improve collaboration and communication between the teams.
