Why this workshop? Because one of the hardest questions you can ask a Tester is: What is your current Test strategy? Beren Van Daele @isleoftesting

Take-away 1: Risk. Storming Session format Beren Van Daele @isleoftesting

System under Test: Instagram wants to integrate a ‘Buy-a-picture’ functionality to trade pictures from account to account with actual money. This transfers the copyrights, the picture to the buyer and money to the seller. Beren Van Daele @isleoftesting

Phase 1: Take the 20 Blue Test. Sphere cards (Quality Aspects) - Select the 6 most important quality aspects for the new Instagram feature - You have 20 minutes Beren Van Daele @isleoftesting

Phase 2: Take Sticky notes & Pens - For each Quality Aspect: write risks on sticky notes - One Risk per Sticky note, multiple Sticky notes per Quality Aspect. - You have 20 minutes Beren Van Daele @isleoftesting

What do risks look like? There is a risk that Event will happen and Cause so that we are impacted by Result. There is a risk that some users can’t access critical paths because we forgot about certain minority user groups, therefore we might lose our certifications as a healthcare software provider. Beren Van Daele @isleoftesting

Phase 3: Take all the Test. Sphere cards, except Feelings - Use the cards to: Come up with ways to test in function of the identified risks. - You have 20 minutes I. e. “Pages load very slow” vs. Log-Digging or Data Analysis Beren Van Daele @isleoftesting
