Breaking Illusions
by Maaret Pyhäjärvi

2. @maaretp http://maaretp.com
Exploratory testing is a
systematic approach for
discovering risks using
rigorous analysis techniques
coupled with testing heuristics.

3. @maaretp http://maaretp.com
Testers don’t break
the code, they break
your illusions about
the code.
- Adapted from James Bach

4. @maaretp http://maaretp.com
From Experiments to
Empirical Evidence
Testing is about information for people who matter

5. @maaretp http://maaretp.com
Illusion type I:
Code doing what
it’s supposed to.

6. @maaretp http://maaretp.com
Illusion type II:
Product doing
what it would
need to.

7. @maaretp http://maaretp.com
Illusion type III:
Process being able
to deliver with
change in mind.

8. @maaretp http://maaretp.com
Illusion type IV:
People having
skills to deliver
well.

9. @maaretp http://maaretp.com
Illusion typeV:
Business model
driving the
selection of right
focus.

10. @maaretp http://maaretp.com
Illusions Need to be Broken
Encourage your testers out of
the functional box they put
themselves in (with your
guidance).

11. @maaretp http://maaretp.com
Continuous
Delivery without
Test Automation
exists.

12. @maaretp http://maaretp.com
The value of another’s
experience is to give us
hope, not to tell us how or
whether to proceed
