Use right side of your brain - Agile Testing Days 2014 Potsdam
Scripted testing is too rigid for agile projects. Testers need to learn different test ways to be able to optimize the way of testing in an agile project. To do so you need to become more creative. Mastering one way of testing isn’t enough to be a professional tester nowadays. You need to have knowledge and experience with different ways of testing to test well in every situation. Especially in agile project a tester needs to master different ways of testing. In this talk Jan Jaap presents different ways of testing and he describes when these are applicable. Some ways of testing require analytical and logical thinking, others require creative thinking and being able to handle freedom. So with different ways of testing you use different sides of your brain. Most testers are pretty good in logical and analytical thinking, creative thinking is less developed by quite a lot of them. In the second part of the presentation Jan Jaap explains how you can train the right side of your brain and become more creative. Jan Jaap’s talk gives you insight in the different ways of testing you have to master to optimize your test effort and what you can do to be able to apply the more creative ways of testing.
